Right, which is kinda where I was going with it. You want to make sure there's no doubt that he's making an appeal before making a call. Sometimes, you have to nudge the coach along into doing it the right way.

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.
