Of which, I totally disagreed. Davis should turn his paycheck back in and quit, I suppose. 
"As usual" , please cite.

I would not claim to "never ever being straight-lined," but I can count the number of times working the bases where I've had to ask for help to make a call at first base on one hand over 20 long, hard seasons of HS varsity and upper level amateur baseball. So, while getting blocked out on calls occasionally happens, there still is no good excuse for it, and that's reality, not fantasy, on this planet, Earth.

Admitting that you have been straightlined is admirable and truthful. Others will claim you to be a Smitty, draw a deep breath, this too shall pass.
My point is that the term "never" is for puffy chested fantasizers. Or liars. Or both.
