Yes, we all have heard it. But that is no reason to give a rules clinic before the game. We have all heard coaches question our strike zone but good umpires do not give a pregame clinic on that either.

But, that is not the issue in this sitch.

This sitch is about is it appropriate for an umpire to raise the issue before this infraction has even occurred? My opinion is that it is highly innapropriate due to reasons I have already enumerated.
