I paid attention because the coach tried to do this when I was working plate for his team last year and I corrected him a few times. I don't really know where the boundries should be when field guy sees plate guy misinterpret/ignore things. And tomorrow I work with someone else who will do the same thing ( he did it last year ).

I just wonder the proper etiquette is. I have mentioned it in the past ( in between innings..."hey, didn"t that girl run for someone different last inning?") but I usually get something like "it really doesn"t make any difference" and we move on.

It bugs me but I don't want to be a pain in the *** to my fellow blues. Any comments?
What makes you think you are being a pain in the ***? You are just applying the rules you know to be accurate.
