Thanks UES. I agree with all of you. I'm never going to my partner to say "Hey, I think he stepped out of the box. What do you have?" But it was just the idea of it. That's a call I'm never making unless I have been tipped off on a certain batter. And it's my hope that young umps learning the trade may read a conversation like this and pick up on some subtle mechanical hints. TWO EYES ON THE BALL....HEAD STATIONARY!!!

Never generalize. This call can be made in more than a few circumstances.

Yes. As MU said, it is the only generalization that is true.

Only if you simplistically fail to distinguish between general truths and universal truths.
