Probably for my first 10 years I couldn't get enough feedback. Of course depending upon the partner, it was a matter of how I weighed the info. With a new partner, I will generally start the discuusion about how I might have banged a call or about a particular play and get the feel for how deep my partner wants the discussion to go. With an old partner he might just say Jim, you sucked behind the plate tonight and we go from there. We would always tell rookies that no matter what the evaulation, sit and act interested and say thanks for the info. Eventually you will figure out if should toss the evaluation or review it to learn.
For the most part though, if you have been doing this long enough, you know. But, there is always something new to learn. As Ozzy has already implied, how many times do you find yourself and your partner sitting in your chairs outside your car, an hour or so after the game, only two cars left in the lot. Discussing the game, the association and other scenerio's from other games.
You got to Love it Baby.
