I'm not sure I understand what this part means. You are there to call 1/3 or 1/2 of a ball game, it seems to me quite necessary to "impose yourself" on the situation. Where exactly was this, as opposed to "your turf"?

This sounds a lot like backpeddling to me. I'm not sure what pottage is. Anything like potted meat? Careful, you know what they say is in there.
