As I said, I have no doubt about these calls/instances. But, the age-old dilemma erupts: When do we "leave things be" -- and when do we insert ourselves into the game, especially when a pard is a newer ump or seems lax on rules.

You ARE Torguemada if you enforce every rule, all the time. Controversy follows you because you are an OOO. Lighten up.
A coach steps out of the dugout to holler instructions to his players. Yawn...
