Garth;
You are way too sensitive today. I was AGREEING with you and Tee in the article. Given the quote from Jim Evans regarding sweeping off the pitchers plate, I was agreeing with him too. Evans' brush was much broader than mine. He said never, never, never. I allowed as how it might be possible in a LL game.
You must have read the Editor's comments at the end of the article and seen RED! Go read the article again. My comments were complimentary of you and Tee. I said that you were trying to help posters on the board get ahead. I consider myself a big dog in the best sense of the word and that definition is the one that I used in reference to you and Tee.
Ask yourself this question. What would you think of an umpire who insisted on brushing off the pitchers plate even after being told not to do it? Even if he was good, would you recommend him for NCAA ball. If not, then you meet the classic definiton of big dog, just like me.
