And, if you think it doesn't affect the games to follow, you are sadly mistaken.
Again, I have no problem with them coming between innings. They are not holding up the game and are not making a scene. No one knows why they are out there. So, why do something which may trigger a scene? Simply answer the question and move on. No other remarks are warranted.

I disagree. If you got a question about a call come out and question it when it happens. Don't wait until between innings. I'm not discussing anything that happened earlier in the game. I see no good coming from this. If it's a legitimate question of course I'll answer it but if it involves a play generally speaking what's the point in rehashing it?
Keep one more thing in mind. If you believe them when they say good job blue than you gotta believe them when they say you're terrible.
