"Do you really think I'm stupid, your going to instruct your catcher to throw down everytime, because one umpire made a mistake?"
No however what the umpire said was that the catcher should have known he caught it and didn't have to wait for his call. I've always told my catcher that if the ump doesn't say "batter's out" you gotta make the throw. Now the ump kinda changes that and my questions was...Is the ump responsible for making the call...you were the only one to act like it was a crime so far. Everyone else seems to say that the umps are responsible for the call. Once again you are probably one who feels he is responsible for nothing in a game and that is sad.

"Do you really think I'm stupid"
Origonally no, I thought you were just a hard headed ump who couyldn't handle any questioning and criticism. "Thats like telling me you want to tell your pitcher how to adjust if I don't call a strike and you think it should have been one. "Where was that Blue"" But after that analogy you got me leaning towards other.
