If you had read the discussion I only added my points after reading your rediculous argument, and then after Tee pointed out that you should rethink it, you go to the same old song and dance routine about you know what you would do and that's all that matters.
Then my point is "don't post it on the forum so others won't think that what the book says."
I was simply pointing out that your "what I would do" does not match with either the rule book or the case book.
Then I went on to point out that there are rules that you "should" be doing, but you don't.
Now before you go to the 2nd stanza, of how do I know what you do, I've never seen you work a game, just believe me I've been doing baseball long enough to know.
So I was just trying to get you to think a little bit but to no avail. Have a nice season.
Thanks

With all due respect, who the hell are you? You are at the very least just another umpire like me. You are no one special to me. No one I run with references you and your opinions on a daily basis. Even if you were an Major League Umpire, it is clear there are people here that have little or no respect for those individuals either. If we have people that can rip every "big time official" that has accomplished 10 times more than most here, then why should I listen to you over my years of working and accomplishing things in a sport which is a distant 3rd in my radar of wanting to be successful?
I must have missed the memo that made you God of all philosophies and opinions on rule applications.
Peace

I am simply an umpire like you; however, I don't think I was attacking your character, just your interpretations.
I have yet to read a rule out of any of your posts except for Rule 10 which is a scapegoat rule for umpires.
Obviously you guys must play a little different brand of baseball than we do as we have coaches switch pitchers all the time and ask if the pitcher going to F6 or F5 can take a few throws.
Just because you haven't seen it happen doesn't mean it is a part of the game on a regular basis.
I hope that my posts did not offend anyone else, but I have a problem with umpires wanting to skirt around the issue and then use Rule 10 to get around the issue.
Thanks
David
