Telling after a missed base

[Steve M]

I've had times when I have said something to the offending runner later on - as in "so how much DID you miss that base by, looked like about 3 inches to me." I won't say anything to the defense - no sense illustrating how dumb they can be. And the missed base is something that amazes me every time it happens and nobody makes the appeal!!!!! Someday, when one of these wizard coaches is whining about not getting a banger or whatever, I may just ask the wizard why he hasn't taught his infielders & bench to watch every base being touched. But then again - if I did that, I'd probably get labelled as some obnoxious umpire....
