Now this isn't Pro baseball, it is low-level adult ball. Can ANYONE out here tell me why you wouldn't toss the guy who draws the line and tells everyone tht you are an incompetent a** in the process of doing so?

If I am truly a professional and I know who really has the last say, why am I going to lower myself to this character, just to prove something ,to someone else. Some players really get off on getting you irratated. When you overlook the small things and handle business when you need to, YOU are much more effective as an official.

The somewhere near the strike zone call on the next pitch is an very effective method that I have also used. But, for the most I don't let the plyers or coaches rile me. Why?

SIMPLE, I HAVE THE FINAL SAY. No need to flaunt it.
