Go back and read my first post in this thread. Do you see yourself mentioned in it? No, you don't because my response had nothing to do with you, PWL. The man asked for opinions. You gave yours and then I gave mine. I made no mention that I felt you were wrong for not calling balks at the high school level. I only gave my opinion that I do call them when I se them.
Yet you took this as an attack and once again lashed out with your childish name calling because I have an opposing view point. Now it's all about race, social status, field availabilty and my insensitivity to these issues. What do any of these items you've mentioned have to do with learning to play the game of baseball properly? You make it sound like all the players in your area are starving empoverished children who you have a need to molly coddle. I doubt that's the case. No, you're just trying to switch the focus away from officiating baseball to social issues.
You mention limited field availablity and reduced playing time. If that's the case then stopping to instruct the pitchers on balks only detracts from their playing time.
Call me all the names you care to. BigDump, BigUmp666, Quenbee56, Slingblade, Haagy, BigPrick56, FatUmp56, and whatever else your childish mind can come up with. It won't change the fact that you are not only a small minded individual, but a poor umpire as well.
Tim.
