They believe that because they've been in the game for so many more years than some of the newer umps they are entitled to bad-mouth them. But trust me when I say that these people are usually the ones who talk a big game but cannot call a ballgame nearly as well as they claim they can.
Oh and by the way Ozzy, I emailed the link of that conversation of ABUA that we recently had to my assignor. He had some not so positive things to say about you.

We don't badmouth you for your age, or experience level. We badmouth you when you say stupid things, especially things like criticizing or ridiculing a stance which is picture perfect, or suggesting things like "Ejections are judgement calls, and you can take them back." Learn FIRST, Ask questions ... then you'll know when you have enough background to criticize or suggest something ... and you will know what not to criticize or suggest.
