I mean I wont defend a guy who has done something completely idiotic and admits to it or I find out from a thrid party how it went down. Bottom line I do some serious investigating when that kind of thing goes down and I defend my umpires rather than hang them out to dry. We get enough of that as part of the job

Umpire advocate? Shoot, this guy may as well say "I was an umpire, but I work for the coaches now."
