Ok,

" . . . not trying to be a smart-***, explain what scissors stance vs. box has got to do with it? are you saying that you are more exposed in the scissors? i have used both and have gotten hit in both but i am a relatively new umpire."
A couple have already toned in but here is the example as given by MLB to their umpires:

Take a tennis ball and hold it straight out in front of you, elbow locked, and hold it for 2 minutes.

Take a bowling ball and hold it straight out in front of you, elbow locked, and hold it for 2 minutes.

The difference between the outcome of these two tests is the exact outcome your spine has when you work the scissors.

Regards,
