I don't know if we set the bar higher, or if there are simply more people to see our mistakes. In a tournament game a couple weeks ago I had a close tag play at 2B. I stepped into the play with my arms sweeping out to both sides, then make a weak hammer as I called "OUT!" I could see the 3B coach ready to come unglued so I yelled out "Wrong signal, Right call, Coach. So let it go!" And he did.

So only a handfull of people saw my miscue, and it was quickly forgotten. Had I been on TV - ooooh you guys would have roasted me for a long time!
