Hmmm,
"To the guys who don't use a counter, shame on you! It's a tool for umpires that is supposed to hold them accountable for the bucks you are earning. Where would a basketball referee be if he didn't use a whistle because it was too difficult too use. Learn to use the tools of your trade."
I guess, giving you as much leeway as I can, we just see the game differently.
I think one of the funniest things I ever see is to watch a small diamond game with a multiple umpire crew and after every pitch all the heads look down and change thier indiclickercounter. It is very funny.
As I stated I do not remember EVER losing count on the bases . . . a device has never been needed. It is simply a tool and some can work without it.
I respect your right to post your feelings I just have to laugh at "how" you say it and realize that there are a bunch of different types of people that work the game.
I would imagine that you are a "letter of the rules guy" also and NOT an "intent of the rules guy."
We need all types of people working the game.
