I agree with you Mike.
It's not a problem of ability in throwing the ball or not.
It's just a matter of RESPECT.
Ball belongs to the game and the game belongs to the players, not to me.
You said you handle the ball only if necessary and I think this is the wisest thing an umpire can do on the field.
If I want to PLAY ball, I wait for a game with my friends.
Another thing: I thank you for the suggestion (related to the other post here) about WHEN give the catcher a new ball.
A.
