Those sneaky player comments?

Keeping in mind that we're talking men's leagues here....
The point that I was trying to make was the pitcher being involved or not involved in a hotly contested call on the bases end an inning had nothing to do with my choosing not to sweep the pitcher's plate. It's just to avoid any more discussion on a play that has already been argued seconds earlier.
Now, someone wants to make it a point on their way out to their defensive position to swing by my between innings spot in short RF and continue chirping, well now we've got a problem that's going dealt with very quickly.
And I never show a player or coach up....which is why I'll run one in a heartbeat if they do it to me. We can argue...lets just do it the right way.

Which is why I never said you're wrong, I just said that I disagree.

No two umpires will have the exact same game management techniques. What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa.

Just wanted to toss out a different perspective on how I would handle a difficult player.
