That is the point - they are not the same experience - and trying to pretend that they are is disingenuous.

There is a big difference between working a dozen MiLB games as a fill-in and a season of MiLB games. And if the fill-in hasn't figured that out yet, then I have great sympathy for the rest of his crew.
