No need to justify. It's your strike zone, not his.

I had a BU do that once. Looked like a complete idiot. That is not funny, just stupid. So, I don't suggest contemplating the idea. Especially after seeing it. I have heard people say they want to do it, but after seeing it, it is a stupid idea.

Pretty sure he was just fantasizing, not really planning to ever do it. We often say things here that we "would love to do," or "would love to say," or other things of this nature. It's because we come here to vent our frustrations and we have come to expect that the other members understand this. We say things we could never really get away with at our games, because we are all umpires, and we all can relate to our mutual disdain for rats and fans. Try not to take things spouted off here too seriously.

I figured that. But, it reminded me of the fool who did it with me. And, I just wanted to warn how stupid it looks before anyone thought they might try it.

He was an idiot and looked like a jacka$$ after he did it. I was ready to go home and let him finish the circus act he just created. Embarrassing to say the least.
