It's pretty much painfully (very painfully) obvious to me that the IP call is not looked upon in a friendly manner... at any level. The token IP call per game.. and thats about it. "Call it early" is code for "Call it with no runners on".. and then leave it be is about how it is wanted to be called IMO.

HA!

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention how horribly robotic and uncomfortable the umpire looked in the last game?

He literally could have been replaced by a umpire McRobot painted an ugly light blue over navy.
