Please note that it is not sufficient to claim that the interpretation MIGHT have been different, which is entirely consistent with the fact that it HAS NOT.

Most everyone else who responded however did make claims that I was wrong, including GB who said without a doubt he KNEW the original intent and I was wrong. That's fine, theories are made to be disproven, but like any good educator I simply asked for backup on the claim. GB to date has failed miserably. JM had a great post very insightful and he almost had me give up, but I regained my spirit and in my fight to keep my theory alive I debunked most of his argument ![]() My perspective on this thread Big steve brought up the tie issue. He was insulted for bringing it up. Even though GB has lengthy discussions on the issue with his friends he has no tolerance for any one posting on the issue. hmmm When I saw the lack of love for 56 I jumped in with my own newly formed theory, supporting my bro in blue as it were. Then the world of intolerant umps ascended upon me. In my world, if I'm asked a question by my wife, kids, customers, friend or whomever I respond with I think , I know or It's my opinion. If I'm challenged on an I know response I usually provide justification for my answer, what I don't do is start insulting people because they want verification to my claims. Let's see if anyone see a difference in communiction skills between these two responses. My theory original intent may be that they intended for TGTTR A. GB response(paraphrased) You're wrong, I know the original intent you're wrong and you apparently have no business being an ump and have no feel for the game. You're wrong, I'm right. Since he had zero confirmed research to back up such a claim may I suggest this approach. B. I don't think TGTTR was ever an issue at any point of rules writing. I have many influential and learned friends who, after studying this issue have concluded as much. There's nothing in any research I've heard about to support your theory and the modern interpretation of the rule certainly does not support you. I don't know how anyone can get along in life responding in A. fashion but it didn't influence me and since he couldn't back up the statement with anything but my friends told me so I think it made him look a bit foolish. Anything along a B response would have ended my conversation with him on page 1. Actually B is the way I was going to respond to Big Steve before the ascencion (sp) of intolerant umps came over him. |

In your case, you beat that poor horse to death with your endless repetition of the rule while, apparently, holding your hands over your ears (eyes?) and singing "la la la la la la la." Quote:

You really need to get over your belief that everyone is salvageable. It just ain't so, and you should have learned that here a long time ago. Just think of your ignore list. That alone should tell you that some people just aren't willing to deal with the real world. |

And then that is followed shortly by the moron-in-training defending the three morons. This thread is a good example, MIT. |

Just make the call...
See the play, make the call. Out/safe? Who cares? Just make the call and live with it. One of the managers is going to be upset no matter what. Sheesh
