Mike, if that is how you read my earliest response, then either I wasn't clear, or you misunderstood. Not a dressing down in my mind, but a statement that it really shouldn't happen unders normal circumstances.

Shipwreck Dave, if you took me that way, too, as dressing you down, then I apologize; not my intention.

Wasn't referring to you, Steve.

Was this screwed up? Yes, but **** happens and we can discuss, but I'm not pointing at the umpire for not catching something that is standard and valid change.

And no intent at all here to dress down Shipwreck either.
I could easily see the same thing happening in one of my games, as such I learned something from reading his OP, and had my own thoughts on proper preventative umpiring solidified.
