When to signal, or not to...

[Uncle George]

I'm not a troll, (whatever that means)! Just another 15+ year ump of high school and legion ball doing what he likes to do. No where in the thread did I say you had to agree with me. The ultimate end is getting the call right. So what if I soft sell the call and the coach comes out. He's going to get the same response from me, the ball beat the runner or the runner beat the ball, tag or no tag! It's that simple. Personally, umps who do some "show boating" are telling the people in attendance, look at me, I'm dah man in charge! I don't think the rule book says anyting about "show business" does it? Didn't think so! On the field, we're partners and I'll do my best, you do your best. If you need me, you call, if I need you, same thing. And if I'm ever working with you and you want to do the "acting thing", go right ahead, but don't look to me for an Emmy! All you'll get is "it's been nice working with you!
