Sal,
Come see me work at Alexian someday. Ive worked with some of the best in this area and have never seen one let a coach ask where pitches are and question their calls. Since you claim to work indy ball, I can only pray that it is on my off day and I can watch you explain your calls at the dish. You wont be the first 34 year old umpire to have peaked before they realize their dreams.
Working for Fetch is not an accomplishment. Pay the money, go to winter meeting and maybe youll get a non-conference game or two in DeKalb for the first five years. I prefer my schedule - at least I get seen and dont have to kiss a** to do it.
I read what JJ and the others said. They are not advocating explaining your calls. They just dont think that baiting a coach is a good thing. But, I bet if you pressed JJ enough, hell admit to baiting a coach or two in his career. Most of us have and there are some excellent reasons for doing it. When you get up here, well explain it to you.
