Pickoffs from the windup?

Also, I can see you are similarly afflicted with coach phobia. Oh - sorry - RAT phobia. I didn't mean to use some foreign and unfamiliar lexicon.

Umpires who, at length, bash coaches speak volumes. It's like the unpopular kid at school who thinks everybody is a jerk because everybody hates him, never once considering that it might be HIM.

I don't believe I stated that all coaches are Rats, nor do I bash coaches. Your response leads me to believe you took my post as an attack on you, therefore indicating what category you feel you belong. I don't know if you’re a Rat...I don't care.

The only phobia apparent here is yours of umpires that don’t share your opinion. You’ve stated your case, some agree, others don’t. That’s life….everyone on the playground isn’t going to like you.
