The runners in most of my games now a days lead off they don't stand on 1b...LOL

Prior to the pitch? Only if you aren't doing your job.

And the umpires can be about in the same line of sight...and not moving....not a distraction

Yeah, they are a distraction. As a player, I have stopped a game until an umpire moved, twice. As a UIC, I have been asked to have umpire's move by players, FP & SP.

Yep...the slow games....and then there are the Supers with BeP,

You mean the same guy who pulled me aside after a game in OKC and told me I was moving too much behind the plate after avoiding the pitch, told me to stand where I wanted and stay there. Yet at the subsequent UIC clinic NUS members had us outside behind the Biltmore telling us to always position yourself behind the catcher. Pretty rough trying to survive any evaluation when you are getting conflicting authoritive direction.

The Majors with BiP

Been there, done that. Like him, but didn't care for the manner in which he introduced new mechanics at the majors.

and the Majors FP with TW along with some very fine NCAA officials.... Very slow games???.....

Never had the pleasure, but if I wanted to do baseball, I wouldn't have walked away from it after 22 years.

Hot damn! Finally got the formatting correct

However, that didn't keep you from taking a comment out of context. I thought I was clearly referring to your noted fear of termination and whomever could effect such a thing. Apparently not.
