I'm with ya! That's the purpose of the board, isn't it?

And from now on I'll avoid trying to be funny, as I'm not very good at making it obvious.
But then, there's always

KyBlue, Never miss an opportunity to call an out does not mean to create situations so you can call an out but rather don't create situations so you don't have to, or can't, call an out. It is not that you are looking to call outs but rather that you are trying to ensure that the lack of calling an out is justified. It is similar to a good No-call in basketball. It is a subtle difference but I feel a valid one. The axiom isn't really mine; I was given the idea by Div I baseball official that taught a National ASA clinic I attended several years back. I have promulgated the concept ever since. By the way, his corollary was: never miss an opportunity to call a strike. I haven't quite as thoroughly adopted the corollary.



We blues only have these kind of thoughts in the winter. In the spring and summer we're far too busy with ejections.
