Atl Blue hit the nail on the head, IMHO. There are calls which help may be rendered - even unsolicited - but the specific example given in the thread is not one of them. I don't want to irritate anyone (Windy), I'm just passing along the way I learned things in Pro school, clinics, from other more experienced umpires than I, and from 20+ years of doing it. If you want to do it a different way, that's why God invented pregames. Have at it!
