Sal,
Come see me work at Alexian someday. I’ve 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 won’t 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 you’ll get a non-conference game or two in DeKalb for the first five years. I prefer my schedule - at least I get seen and don’t have to kiss a** to do it.

I read what JJ and the others said. They are not advocating explaining your calls. They just don’t think that baiting a coach is a good thing. But, I bet if you pressed JJ enough, he’ll 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, we’ll explain it to you.

WindBag buries another would be pretender to the throme. Your name wouldn't be Rich Rosenthal, would it?
