Why are you apologizing? Papa C. has his blinders on again. God forbid that someone should actually challenge his rule interps. Gordon0307 said that his partner saw the missed tag at first. His conscience got the better of him and he came here to learn what went wrong. I told him that his partner let him down. He was screened and had to make a tough call. His partner was not and told him so. Papa C. advocates selling the tough call and living with it, even if your partner saw something that was obvious to everyone in the ball park but him. That logic says that even though they do it at the D-1, Minor and Major League levels, you should live with a sh*tty call. Remember it's all about the accolades. Oh, just in case you didn't know, Papa C. is taking credit for the tossed glove call being redefined by Fed next year. That is quite a proud moment, taking responsibility for a horrible interpretation of the rule. Did you know that he was the first clinician in Texas? I think he threw that in there just in case he thought you were bragging.

By the way, nice try with the strong arm re: Rut. They killed the thread. In case you didn't catch it, you don't have the power in UMPS anymore. Grievances don't scare me, either.
