Well . . . I try to be consistent with my strike zone. I cannot say that all those pitches are called strikes. But aren't those calls judgment calls? Is that what we are talking about when we discuss this glove movement thing? Or are we talking about a pretty clear act on which no judgment is applied other than yep he waved the glove to get a new sign? Is there any middle ground there that could be disputed as not really a wave of the glove? I'm not sure you are comparing apples with apples. I really don't want to switch gears on this post. Otherwise we could talk about coaches outside the box ( pretty clear there. No judgment - either he is in or out of the box ),Celebration after a home run, etc. I guess because there was a discussion about this and the gorilla arm in our association meeting, I feel the importance was placed on it and it needs to be called. As I said, in my humble opinion. I would add that I am also going to give a warning on this before I call it a balk. But the 2nd time in the same game - balk.
I will answer your question another way though. I do let some things slide, even though I know I shouldn't. However, on judgment issues like balls and strikes, interference and obstruction, etc. I try to be very consistent. Am I wrong? Entirely possible. I would admit that freely. But I strive to be better with each call in each game.
