coach told him to "block" the base‏

[kheisner]

All,
As a rookie ump I come here for info.....yeah, some of you have sliced me up pretty good...but what the hell, I'm an umpire I get that on a daily basis.

Main thing is that I improve my game as an umpire & referee......like they say about turtles.....if you are not willing to stick your neck out how do you expect to get ahead.

If you are having fun "chewing me up". Well, then two of us are having a good time!! Honestly much of it is good advice and I do appreciate it.

I monitor this site to learn.....like I said earlier, sometimes I have to consider the source. All-in-all, this is a good source. Sometimes I just have to throw out the crap and digest the good stuff.

You're not writing this from your basement are you?

Stick around the board and you'll hear a lot of sound advice from some experienced and knowledgeable individuals.

Being told that you made a mistake is not being sliced up. It's not personal, and it's the only way to improve.

Being told that you're a stoopid turd who has no business on a diamond is being sliced up, but I don't see anyone here saying that to you.

That may apply to one of the "shadowy" posters in this thread ... but not to OP.
