But I got to thinking, what if a player started yelling at an umpire in a different language (one that the umpire didn't understand)? My partner was Puerto Rican as well, so anything that was said I guess he would have known if it was bad or not. What say you about players yelling in a different language at us Azuls, when nosotros no comprendemos?
If a player or coach is insulting me in language I don't understand, it's not much of an insult. For all I know, the signs the 3rd base coach are flashing are calling me names, and the offensive team might be passing nasty notes about me in the dugout.

I've got other things to worry about.
