Strikeout not credited?

I am truly dumbfounded by Carl's response. You actually took the time to justify your opinion with excerpts from a TOME AUTHORED BY YOU!

I think we can end all of this now, I will support all of my rulings with the manual I distribute at any of my umpire clinics. That makes as much sense.

You give an example of the phantom tag at second base as being unacceptable. But you also insist that a missed base by a runner who hits a fence clearing HR is an expected call. The best umpires are consistent; well, they are consistently accurate. Sometimes you make this too easy.

Recognizing that things are bigger in Texas, your ego must be truly larger than your brain. I can't believe you thought that I should be familiar with all of your publishings or would care. How's that manifesto coming?

To borrow a bit from TAC, ~ sigh ~.
