Carl,
Being a stand-up guy is sometimes difficult.
You have based your entire private and professional life around "doing what is right", so I ask:
What is the "right thing" to do?
I think you pretty much nailed the correct procedure.
Your group folded like a wet tent when the rubber hit the road.
So let's try to make this an umpiring analogy:
Did they "get the call right?"
Five of them think so . . .
Did they "misapply a rule?"
Looks like it.
Can this be protested to a "higher authority?"
Doubtful.
Sooooo, what should you do?
Simple. Let your ego go, decide how you can do the MOST GOOD for your umpiring group.
We don't always win all battles. I would like to see you concentrate on winning the war.
Take a deep breath. Count to 21 (I know you can do that since you have ten fingers, ten toes and are a prick) and decide what best completes your legacy within Texas baseball.
Of course this is just an opinion and like all a$$holes I have plenty of those.
