Yes, I called balls and strikes for 2 years about 10 years ago, so I'm not completely oblivious to umpiring, but I do know this: as a casual observer, I pretty much ignore anything that WCB and H^3 say.
As I do, you may not agree with the manner in which they articulate things however, it is obvious from their posts, that they are quite versed in officiating baseball.

Therefore, I must conclude that you ARE, more "oblivious to umpiring" than you think.
You are correct: while their content may be accurate, I do think their delivery stinks. That's just my opinion.

There's a difference in knowing baseball rules and communicating with people. I don't mind being oblivious to officiating baseball. Or even if you think I'm more oblivious than I think I am. However, I'm not oblivious to communicating, and I just don't like their style, as seen via messages here at of.com.
