The point of my post was to wonder what on earth we would all do without you around to point out the "errors" you perceive committed by your superiors.

Hmmm...as Hawkeye Pierce said to Frank Burns when Burns said he was a superior officer to Hawkeye, "You have a higher rank, but you are not superior."

Davidson would have called it, and people would have been all over his a$$.

Don't get all offended, SDS, if you don't fit the bill, but the average professional umpire of amateur ball is ignorant, ch!cken$sh!t, or both when it comes to calling balks.

In my roughly 2200 game career of probably 90% 2-man, 10% 3-man, I have outcalled my partners on balks I'll bet 20-1.

No offense taken. I agree with your assessment. I would go one step further and say that a better than average percentage fit the bill, based on some partners and umpires I have observed over the years.

I wonder what I would do without you pretending not be interested in these threads that you read.

I know exactly what you'd do, because you keep doing it.

MB,

There have been several threads this year about MLB umpires. I posted one recently asking about mechanics-several people responded.

I posted this one and several people responded.

You obviously have an interest in this topic or you would never have clicked and posted.

Maybe you have a personal grievance with me? I have no idea. To my knowledge, we have never met.
