Dakota saw the two main ones, but didn't mention the lower confidence pre-emptive warnings imply. My thinking is when a call is obviously correct, no one is really unhappy with us, although if it's the third out in the bottom of the seventh, they have to blame someone. We should not be paying attention to whether a catcher is cute or not, let alone saying it in writing. The catcher wiping the plate after you mentioned it seemed to be showing you up and had to be stopped.
Obviously, I strongly support your last sentence (I try always to never let the comments influence my calls, or to take it out on the players.).
