Perhaps it was an asinine statement (remember I did admit it was sarcasm)...as was yours.
My point is that there are probably a few rules and interpretations that we, as umpires, may not agree with. However, all umpires should strive to enforce the rules and interpretations the same. This is clearly an illegal pitch and as far as I can tell you are probably the only umpire that thinks it isn't.
For you to stand up and say "For all you others that disagree with me, better start bringing more balls to the games because to be true to your interpretations of the rules, you'll need to change balls after every pitch" is very unprofessional and a disservice for all of us who uphold the rules.
That's all I have to say about that, except perhaps I was wrong to word my previous post the way I did and you may have to agree to disagree with the interpretation but enforce the rule as it should be applied.
