Disclaimer: These are just my opinions are not to be confused with actual umpire mechanics, at any time.

Don't be so modest. You are a good umpire, one that seems to always be
watching when not calling and asking questions when with, for lack of better
word, more experience. I have seen and worked with you enough to know
that you are not one to "hang his partner out." Even with more experienced
umpires, I have seen and heard you give them advice, and usually good
stuff.

Now that I have sucked up, see you Sunday. Maybe we are on the same
field. Hope so.
