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.
Come on guys, a little civility is needed here. Agree to disagree but don't get personal. With 12 years of umping experience, and not just Little League, I do use a lot of preventative skills when calling a game. Don't judge people unless you have seen their work. Just because you are a "senior member" of this bulletin board doesn't mean you know everything about baseball. Boards like these are supposed to be a tool to help fellow umps not as a tool as means of belittling people. I've noticed after a couple of months of observing this board there are a few "senior members" who impose their wills and sarcastic whims on other umps comments. Boards that have a lot bashing can lead to it being used little. A good umpire should not be confrontational and belittling.
