Leaving out the big apple team playing in the Bible belt, and similar clashes of acceptable / street language, what this boils down to is neither you nor Mike trust umpire judgment in application of these rules in a local setting. OK, but dollars to donuts, there are just as many, if not more, umpires with faulty judgment regarding interference and obstruction which have a much greater impact on games day in and day out.
