And if you been around officiating long enough, you don't make calls based upon assumptions.
Manny, I wasn't at the game so I couldn't even begin to understand who the heck he was talking to.
All I said was, "Unless you are sure that the 3B coach was trying to get the pitcher to balk, I wouldn't go there. Sometimes what is said on the field is a fine line for enforcing this rule however, make sure that line is clearly crossed before addressing."
Obviously he must have said it loud enough that you heard it along the eastern seaboard. Therefore you have every right to insert yourself into Umpire99's game. I don't officiate that way.
