That is why amateurs umpires should not watch big league umps work the plate because they break more rules than they follow. But guess what, it doesn't matter because nobody cares what they look like - they just care about the end result.

Which is why amateur umps should be much less concerned about the same crap (head height, etc) and more about figgering out how they best get the calls right.

So for all you guys that point out Froemming's flinches or Reiley's head movement or Joyce's multiple stances, the bottom line is they get things right back there and that's all that counts.
