GS, you make some fine points. But I equate your little chat with the players to catching my dog digging in the garbage can. I can scold him all I want and he will think to himself, better not do that again...when old Booney is around.
They may well learn their lesson when you are umping them, but more times than not, once a different ump is behind the plate, all bets are off. "Well this guy hasn't warned me yet, lets see what I can get away with"
When a guy's been dumped the message is not only sent, its received.
