Are those bus tracks on my back?

Ace, I would have your back and told Ratty to go warm up the bus. It's about game management and control, and that includes the dugouts. Bad behavior is bad behavior no matter where it occurs.

I started this post to get input from peers. Instead, it becomes a polemic on my verbiage.

As much as we tend to disagree, why not reply to the original post?

I think we sling too many arrows at each other on this board instead of providing our learned opinions. "Ace, here's what I would have done" is what I'm looking for.

I think we scare newcomers away. One of my goals is to devleop new officials.

To often we, as umpires, have nowhere to turn. League officials, tourney directors don' t back us up.

Please write your opinions on the origin of the thread. I think this is a reasonable request of sentient people.
