Chirping one way

Every ump here has been asked to call it both ways.
Not one (I am crossing my fingers here) has ever been asked to change a ball/strike call.
Most is innocent chatter you hear from game to game.
Coaches also approach umps and make comments between innings to/from dugout.
Short unsolicited suggestions for improvement come from both teams.
I believe most of them say the same things throughout the season.
The good teams find a way to win and go home happy.
The bad teams find a way to lose and blame the ump.
None of it is profane, prolonged, or personal.
