I agree. It's a very difficult process to "talk" someone through mechanics without showing them. Relying upon the book alone is a fatal mistake for an umpire. Clinics are a much better way to learn, but some clinics are better than others. Publishing a DVD with the exact mechanics straight from the horse's mouth is probably the closest we'll come to "the perfect way to deliver the message."

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
