Yes I am very much an umpire. I am not the one to brag but I am a very good umpire. I work hard I study hard, and I take pride in my craft. I was not posting to say "since he was wrong... this is what is right....." I merely gave an alternate way that the situation could have been handled that IS with in the rules and could have kept that umpire and any other young umpire out of hot water in the event they are faced with a similar situation. What I suggested, and it was only a suggestion, would have not resulted in miss application of the rules which happend here.

I have not seen one post from you in this thread that as been constructive. Yeah everybody who knows the definition of OBS knows the call was wrong, but making comments about my umpiring ability does not help those who come to this board looking for help.
