Umpires could have different strike zones and personalities. Giant strike zone, hardly ever throws out managers. Trying to score on a single, 3rd base coach would "recommend " stay at third or wave him home. 1st base coach would help with when to attempt to steal and help with a pitchers pick off move.
Two pretty big parts (especially umps) of the real game, missing in our game.
I personally enjoy checking an old box score of a game when a pitcher had say 16 strike outs and checking out who the home plate umpire was to see what kind of strike zone he has/had. Was it 16 k's with a small strike zone (impressive!) or with the man in blue behind the plate who's generous to pitchers.
