I agree and.........

.....that is the reason I believe MLB does not publish the rules they play under. If one of the Big Dogs screws the pooch all they say is that they use a different book. Case closed. G.

Here's my answer:

If the rules were clear, big dogs would have nothing to lord over little dogs. With things in a muddle, big dogs can always be right, no matter what they do. Likewise, little dogs can always be wrong and big dogs can make fun of them.

As a big dog, I prefer things to be ambiguous. It makes it easier to keep little dogs in their place. By using common sense and fair play, I can convince the coaches that I am right. Likewise, the little dogs that try to enforce the rules are seen as incompetent.

It is so easy when you understand the politics.
