He's certainly not as flamboyant as others in terms of calling safe, outs, balls and strikes. So what's the big deal. That's his style. Tell me you don't like his style. I'm sure you're a fine umpire, a good partner and do an excellent job, however, I don't think your mechanics are better than McClellans. If his mechanics were poor he never would have made it to the show.
