Batters Interference?

Excuse me but are you an umpire or a batting coach? You've been told by a multitude of people that the batter did nothing wrong. When are you going to listen?

And you people wonder why I get an attitude online.... LISTEN - LEARN or go post somewhere else!

Oz, I'm not sure why you're freaking out on me. All I was doing was answering a question for someone looking for more information. I'm owning the fact that I think I kicked it- where did you see anything otherwise?

And people wonder why we can't keep good young umpires....when older guys can't help give feedback, it turns us off to the profession.
