Sometimes it helps to iron things out before you go on the field rather than make a snap second judgement. Its the best form of anticipation we have. Think MLB umps go on the field with 2 teams who threw beanballs at eachother the day before not ready for what may come?
I think about umpiring alot, and will continue to think about it, rather than just make hasty judgement calls on the field when it can be avoided (not that I don't like a good banger).
