tref ... as assignor, I'd rather people tell me about this stuff. When I get emails or calls that sound like, "So and so missed a call at first base that cost us a game." it goes in one ear, out the other. However, calls about umpires that just stand at home plate regardless of what happens ... or calls about umpires that actually say out loud that they didn't make a call because the game was out of hand ... I don't care the score, I want to know.
Now ... given that this call comes from someone that lost by 20, maybe it just goes in the memory bank - but I suspect that if this is really the attitude of the umpire, then THIS is not the only phone call I will get of this ilk on that guy. Even if it's not enough to act on, it could contribute to a pattern.
Like I said, I'd rather know.
