Get the calls right? Responsibility?

"can't tell if that is a subtle slam or what..."


My expectations that you would take the high ground is definitely a subtle form of a complement.

"In your lookback violation on overrunnig first base, I'd make that call, sure. Given that you disagree with this rule, would YOU make that call?"


Can't tell if that is a subtle slam or what... Of course I would, for the same reason that you now will make that interference call on a walked B-R outside the 3' lane in a HS game.

My problem is that, being in the "umpire's zone," I would make that call automatically, without seeing or realizing the ramifications of the call. I am struggling with the concept of making the "expected" call, and wondering if I want to, or if I can train myself to make the expected call.
