Annoyed the heck out of me

Whether you randomly call a ruuner out or not, I don't think you tell the coaches that you will. If you do, you are setting yourself up for arguements. If you tell me that you will call random outs, as a coach I will be questioning all of your close calls. I'll be asking, "is this one of your random outs, or is this one legitimate?" As an umpire, you call the game as you see it, by the rules.

Again, I agree with blue...This should not come up in the
pre-game conference. Really setting yourself up. No intent
to bury WMB, just pointing out this could lead to serious problems
during the game as blue pointed out.
