We'll agree to disagree.

So, it's as I suggested. It's not that you don't understand the rule, you choose to disagree with it.
The rules are written with a bias to the offense. Both teams will play offense. There is balance.
As written by many authorities on MLB rules and umpiring, the rules and umpires are to prevent
unintended advantages. Again, there is balance.
Your personal opinon is of no consequence to the game. Either one can abrbitrate as intended by the rules, or one should not arbitrate. Hopefully you can perform competently and keep your personal opinion from interfering with the game.
Have a good season.
