Agreed. If such a conference results in the call being changed, two things happen. One, the coach whose team now benefits from the call will usually pipe down and be pleased with the call and will often appreciate the fact that it was handled properly. Two, the other coach may get upset, but it's usually not as bad. After all, you've already gone to your partner and discussed the play. What more is there to discuss?

Not to say coaches always share that logic (or any at all, for that matter), but it's nice to live in that dream world for a while.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
