I am not out there to coach...but I am out there to maintain the integrity of the game. Preventative umpiring is part of that.

And as far as being the one who tallies the runs, what say you if, for instance, a runner misses the plate. The scorekeeper (home book or someone employed to keep the book) marks the run. Then you have a proper, legal appeal. Do you somehow tell the scorekeeper that run didn't score (by calling the runner out through some pronouncement)? Of course you do (at least I hope so).

.

My humble advice is to be very assertive in not letting folks hang themselves - within reason.
Now this is common sense and good game management.

Good post John,
I wish that I would have had an opportunity to work with you at a National or something.
