Yes, Brian, they are. But he's not arguing for the sake of arguing - neither were TAC, Garth or BigUmp56.
When a couple of us pointed out some problems with the logic used to discuss the baseball realted topic, they jump on the grammar/spelling/condescension train. Both BigUmp56 and SDS are using the "flowery prose" euphemism now. Hmmmmmmm? Learn to write better and then others may accuse you of talking above their head too. Should the pitcher have to slow down his fastball because you aren't capable of hitting it?
I choose not to use fourth grade words to convey adult topics. I'm sure they will say that is condescending, I say it isn't bragging if it is fact. I usually take time in constructing my thoughts. They are a measure of your intelligence and communication is fundamental to umpring. I speak the same way I write - in measured, certain terms. I prefer to tell the coach what he needs to know and get on with it. I don't criticize his errors or ostracize him because he can't speak as well. They apparently do.
Lastly, why would you talk about a chest protector photograph. I thought that BigUmp56 posted that photo. Hmmmmmm...
