ATL?:
Thank you for illustrating my point. Several members have said that a field umpire would never dream of correcting a Plate umpire's call. I disagreed and gave examples. I was very aware of the MLBUM and what it said, since I work about forty Minor League games a year, as a local umpire.
As with all rules and laws, good arguments can be made either way. Some of yours were logical, others ludicrous. Of course I am not going to try to correct a called strike that was off the plate. But I have certainly corrected calls when my younger partner flinched and called ball - missing the swing.
Don't tell me to get real unless you work my schedule and have done what I have done. My career highlight wasn't being a scorekeeper for the Olympics. Nice try, but as they say..."Walk a mile in my shoes, before you judge me." It was a noble attempt, but you didn't stick the landing.
The Russian judge gives you a 8.5
