Preventive Umpiring?

[kellerumps]

I am a huge believer in Preventitive Officiating. Read my signature line about problems.

Will I call time in that situation.....Not as a general rule of thumb......But Yes I will.

It all depends on the situation.

As for the slow-pitch remark....Remember you are a team out there. If a good coach senses dissention in the officials crew they will try to exploit it to their advantage. We are faced with enough problems between the lines, don't create more.

Also, with the exception of my wife , I can say "I'm not working with that person again.".
