Over the years I have joined Tee and Rich in their position on this issue and have shared in some of the catigation from certain interntet umpires.
After spending a week at the Desert Classic last November, I came home even more convinced of the correctness of our position and it is NOT about "you get yours I'll get mine." It IS possible to avoid being straightlined and to avoid a crap throw from causing you grief.
From my experience the primary reasons people have problems accepting Tee position on this is that they: 1. Forget to read the quality of the throw prior to coming set for the play. 2. If they even bother to check the throw, they fail to move or lean or both as the throw would dictate to see the play.
This is not the "impossible dream" so many internet umpires sing about. One can work that play without needing help.
