Crap on a cracker, people... I expect this from the various Facebook umpire groups that are one third troll, one third newbie with no training at all, and one third guys like us that know better but nevertheless try to educate the rest.
But on this site, 95% of us are Umpires. Good ones. Umpires that should not have trouble on a remedial question like this one. I'm embarrassed for the collective "us" on this thread. It's one thing if the younger or newer members of the profession (or those newer to this group) have a question on something like this one... but I KNOW several of those posting here are better umpires than they are making themselves appear.
Far too much lawyerizing and wordsmithing lately - the rulebook is not written in the same way a law book is. If it was, none of us could read it anyway.
