Hmm,
Chris has been on these boards as long as I can remember. He has constantly improved as an umpire.
He did quite well at Evans this year.
I am not sure which is the most overrated issue in umpiring:
1) Taking off you mask with the left hand, or
2) An umpire that intentionally touches a catcher to confirm position.
Of course working the "Davis Lock Box" I can't even reach the catcher.
And, of course, because I do it to - - I am very happy to see Chris call "Ball Out" as I identify close pitches by location.
Regards,
