I am very confused by this post. To which officials are you referring? I've read through the posts, and it seems that very experienced officials are disagreeing on this issue. It seems pretty well divided, and I haven't seen any "new" or "inexperienced" umpires responding. Everybody's post I've read have been from very seasoned umpires, who just happen to disagree with one another. Who posted that is "several levels" below Ozzy and others?
