Cripes,

Let me make my comment clear . . . "crystal".

I have never been, nor do I ever PLAN to be closer than 10' from ANY call.

We are taught over-and-over to not get to close to calls and let them "blow up" . . . if an umpire is properly trained and believes in "angle over distance" there really shouldn't be a disagreement with the distance from the play.

No real trainer would ever tell an umpire to "stick his nose" into the play.

You are simply wrong in your view . . . I can accept that but doubt seriously that an umpire that claims he is "good enough" to be an MLB umpire would ever "stick his nose into a play."

Sorry, you lost yardage on this one, mate.

Tee

PS, if you don't like the way I post . . . tough cookies!
