I do actually...that would've been back in mid November of this year. I certainly hope a partner doesn't do that to me on a play they've deemed I have applied bad judgment.

When I started umpiring baseball 13 years ago, none of the veterans ever did that to me when I did kick a call (and I did). I've never done that to a rookie, it doesn't help him learn. It only undermines him.

I understand you think you're doing the right thing, but I simply cannot agree that it is the proper way to handle a situation like this.
