I was not trying to beat anyone up. I am glad JC took the intended constructive criticism in the spirit it was given. I had the following recently.
Top of 1st fricking inning, no outs yet. Batter violates running lane rule, F2's throw hits BR deflects into RF, my partner (PU), doesn't kill it, R2/R1/BR running bases. Then F2 complains to my partner, DHC comes out to complain, partner becons me to asks what the penalty is for RL violation, I tell him what it is, and then he calls RL violation, BR out, runners return.
After chewing on my partner for awhile, OHC comes out on me, asking how/why I changed my partner's call. Why is my partner letting OHC come chew on me...Me not happy. I tell OHC that it was my partner's call all the way, he needs to talk to him.
If I hadn't had my mellow harshed, and I was thinking teamwork, maybe I could have told OHC, that though this mess was ugly, I think my partner got the call right. Maybe I could have calmed him down some, but I didn't and OHC made himself a right PITA the rest of the game. All because of bad game management on both of our parts.
