Tim: I like your posts, too. I guess I missed the
reference you mention, "Making the Expected Call" by
HHH. Perhaps you are right in your assessment that umpires
call this wrong because it is easier for them to sell it.
Doing this purposely is something I personally don't do.
I'm not saying I never miss a call, just that I try to get them right, AND sell if necessary. Maybe because of my
relative inexperience, I am still disillusioned and think that being 100% honest in my judgment is the best way to call a game. So far, putting up with flack when I know I'm right isn't so hard to swallow. But, I'm sure your opinion is correct that many umps take the easy route.
