I guess the coaches opinion carries so much weight that you are willing to change the rule about a fielder having to actually tag a runner for an out instead of just looking like he did.
I mean, why else would you make that call?

Your attempt at humor escapes me, I say right in the post you're quoting "to avoid getting spiked"
I make the call for the protection of the fielder.
besides
I never said the coaches opinions are worthless. Someone else did. I was only pointing out the hypocrisy in that statement
Nor did I ever claim that I didn't make calls for the benefit of the coaches.
If you could comprehend what's going on in this thread you'd see that I've given my opinion on the pitch and explained my reasoning for why I call it this way.
The rest of the time I've retorted in kind to those who feel compelled to personally impune me because I don't follow the crowd on this call.
Admittedly, when you respond in kind, you're no better than the one that started it. But then I've never claimed to be a saint either
If the participants don't want threads that degenerate like this then I suggest they don't start with the personal attacks.
And if you just can't help yourself then don't be surprised when someone steps up and defends themself from your arrogance.
