I fit into catagory "A".
After a quick analysis of the July baseball articles,
I have found the following:

(1)Officiating.com has released 16 articles in total.

(2) Rich Ives and Blaine Gallant wrote one article
each.

(3) Tee accounted for three of the July writings.

(4) Two articles were rule-change releases by our
friends at the National Federation.

(5)Roland totaled seven articles alone.

Tossing out the two Fed articles brings the July
count to 14 articles.A full 50% of these are
attributable to one author.That figure in itself
is disappointing,particularly given the quality
of those writings.I gave up on trying to read any
article written by Roland,mainly because I could
find no relevance in them.I just never have been
able to connect salads,George Carlin books,or the
United States Marine Corp to officiating baseball.
Until either new authors start writing, or people who make sense(Tee,Blaine)write more often,it will not get better.Sometimes
I believe certain people write just to take up space.
If an article isn't in some way informative,or at
least helpful,it isn't worth the effort to read.
Just one man's humble opinion......
