Actually Warren, I dont understand why an official with all your experience can't understand that mabey your just not the authoratative person you think you are. "Adds a whole new dimension to killing the messenger, wouldn't you say? Sheesh!"
Have a good day.

Hmmmm. Sounds to me like you've got some sort of personal axe to grind. Could this be a case of sour grapes, or even envy? If you read my posts carefully you will note that I have NOT claimed any authority for myself. Instead I've only claimed authority for the
professional umpires whose interpretations and mechanics I've reported, and who should rightly be considered "
the best umpires the game has to offer".
Why is it that you are so anxious to press the view that I'm "
just not the authoratative person" I think I am? How would YOU know
what I think? Maybe you just don't like my style of writing. Fine. I won't lose any sleep over that. The fact remains, however, that you seem inordinately opposed to anything that I've said in this thread, when all I've actually done is to quote the rules and report the current professional view on the matter.
You may choose an opposing view if you wish. That would be your loss, and that of your colleagues, IMHO.
Have a nice day.
