Yep,
As you can see Rich this thread has progessed to the issue that many of us just don't understand.
The example that you comment on is an example of either terrible training or an umpire that doesn't care about training.
When scyguy's partner comes "flying" we see that there is little understanding on training by that umpire.
You and I don't get it. We take all opportunities at training seriously and we try to improve.
Other umpires do not.
I get short with "umpires" on webpages when they fail to follow basic mechanic rules or at least know when to hustle to make calls. I get short with umpires who would ask for "help" on a simple steal of a base call.
Many of our brethern are stuck with dregs that call themselves "umpires".
As Carl says, "Lah Me!"
