You are just too full of yourself to realize.
Did you really say this? You are arguing that a policy was not followed but it was revealed that the policy from MLB was followed and they seemed to not have a problem with the situation. Now if that is not arrogance I do not know what is. Unless you work for MLB or you decide the procedures, your opinion on this is way off and wrong. And I never completely dismissed your opinion, but you are not the person that is being asked to follow this or any procedure. So your opinion only means so much and those in charge apparently think he did the right thing.

That is why we work for people and they set policy that we are to follow. That is why we cannot set standards for things we have never personally experienced. And unless you have been an MLB umpire (I know I have not) then what they expect of their umpires is not based on your personal feelings.

Peace
