To steer this ship back into the channel
The topic originally was "arguing"- the length and breadth of the plate conference developed as what I like to call in my business a "tangent."
OBR 9.02 does say (my paraphrase) "Don't argue."
What's an argument? Here comes the proverbial cutter pitch. You ball it. F2 asks you, politely and so only the two of you can hear, "Hey, blue, where was that pitch?" I'm likely to tell him. If on the other hand, his coach (around here, we don't usually call them skip or manager) asks the question from the dugout, he now has my attention. He may or may not get run, depending on a lot of factors. We all have different tolerances for BS. Knowing where to find and draw that line is an art- one I'm still working on myself.
Strikes. Outs. Beer.
