That is one as the plate umpire and UIC you need to seriously fix. Tell the field ump that you will talk about it after the game. I am not for over ruling my partner but on something that is a serious gross misinterpetation of the rules, that needs to be fixed. Some would say that takes away credability of your partner. BS!! It was gone as soon as he called that. Fix it. Some people I'm sure will take issue with me for saying this but you cannot let that go.

We have a guy around this area that reads the rule of all line must be drawn of noncaustic..... as all lines must be drawn. He gets so literal that he has been known to draw coaches boxes, running lanes and on deck cricles himself. He has even raked the pitchers mound in the middle of a game. Funny thing is, he has never once checked helmets and bats before a game.
