I found this post on "any Lou Pinella's out there" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Post Of The Month July, 2010"

hello there i hope that this is the place for this question but this has really been knawing at me there certain things that stand in the way of me getting a Texas DL and i was wanting to know if a umpire could perhaps arrange a driver to get him to and from those games i know that is not the same thing would that be something that Umpire Directors would accept, but my question stands i do wish to know if have a License is a absolute must and i must express my regrets for asking this i would just like a answer on this matter thanks again

hey all this is umpire 08 i wanted to know if there was a test i mean does the NJCAA conduct a test for getting into JUCO baseball and if i wanted to get into to Div I JUCO baseball who would i get into contact with from NJCAA Region 14 in Texas, i hope this is the place for this question thanks and happy new year. :)

hey there this is umpire08 and here is the revised version of my question i don't know why the ncaa does not hold for (ex ) since the big 12 Admin Offices are in Texas why is there not a camp held at somewhere like College Station at Olsen fleld home of aggie baseball thanks hope this helps

hey guys any of you have a coach/player go absolutley nuts over a call i have have not been a part of any of those but i want to know if any of you vets or newbie's have had anyway coach/player kick dirt on your shoes or or anything like that those kind of outbursts are not fun but maybe you guys have some expericences that you would like to share thanks umpire

I am refering to baseball usa the yard this is not in anyway associated w usa baseball but it is select baseball I would to know not about this the general attiude of my fellow umps who done select ball this place is in Houston Texas and if they could just maybe give some feedback to younger umpire who is just trying to find his place in umpiring thanks

hey guys umpire 08 can anyone here give me some more of a background into baseball usa i am seriously considering attending a basic ump school at baseball usa anybody who has anytime doing that kind of play i would like to get some insight about this level of play thank you.

i think it is great that you guys have the rule book in your car that way if something werid comes up you can refer to that and check your work so to speak thanks

is there a general test for just getting into college baseball and not just playoffs but a entry exam i know there will be a background check and that is i know a must but just wanted to know about just getting into college baseball. I also want to know why the NCAA Umpire Camps like maybe the big 12 umpire camp i just do not know how that would work but i hope this is better and i can get a answer but i wanted those two questions answered if possible and hopefully i will get answer.

hey all just wanted to ask why all the ncaa umpire camps are held where they are the Big 12 Conf Admin Offices are in Texas and there are some conferences that are in Texas i just don't understand why these camps are not held locally like in Houston or some place that i did not have to pay for a plane ticket can someone help oh how many times can you take the ncaa test and the evaul someone help on this topic please hope this is in the right area i mean it is college thanks bunches

hello there this is umpire 08 do any of you know what the regional umpire camp will be like in waco i know some of you are out west but any help on this would help and also is there going to be a chance to work on base and plate mechanics thanks again anything would help umpire 08 peace out

can this mask be purchased at honigs

hey all how many of you guys umpire JUCO and what basicially would i need to be able to get into JUCO baseball is there a test or does anyone know if there are any JUCO baseball umpires Camps locally i am hoping to hear from a gentlemen at the NJCAA and very possbily could point me in the direction of the em address for the director of Region 14 Athletics so any help that you could maybe give me about a JUCO umpire camp held in texas or you don't know that is okay too really the purpose of this is to just get my name in the hat and when i get into the private sector out in the country then maybe i will do what is needed to get the ball rolling on this any help that thanks umpire08

hello all this is umpire 08 i have to mention that ejecting a coach is a last resort for the umpire however some umpires will give the coach enough rope to hang himself but if the HC goes too far then you must give the heave-ho but if the coach calms down then we are okay for the moment but in talking about ejections my partner can do it with the best of them and i am starting to learn how to do it but i think sometimes we as officials are too quick on the trigger my point is i guess don't eject unless you have no other recourse my partner says that it is not really the umpires who eject it is the coaches who eject themselves what do you guys say about this i am anxious to hear what you have to say

are there any major differences with JUCO and NCAA i mean the mechainics are the same but why not use a three man system JUCO Baseball that seems to work better than two i can understand why HS would use two with the exception of HS tell me what you guys think about this question that i have it really puzzles me

Do any of you want to work juco or do some of you just want to work Div I for those of you who are in texas thanks let me know if u guys want to do JUCO thanks

hey all out there just wanted to ask some of you about how high you wish to go in the umpire ladder my goal at first was to maybe be a pro umpire but that can not possibly happen because I am not skilled enough to work that level the highest level that i will go is Div I Big 12 once the JUCO yrs are done but first i must go through is youth and then HS then JUCO then Big 12Baseball how about u guys how far do you excpect to go in umpiring be safe and stay in the game umpiring 08

I have the hsm so that part is taken care of what brand chest protector and what brand shin guards should i buy i mean i can buy my shin guards at Academy but the chest protector is a diffrent story what do you guys have in the way of suggestions let me hear your ideas

the umpire in this case was no doubt thinking about the safety of the players and with that in mind he did what he thought needed to be done and he acted had that happend to me i would have done the same thing whatever level i am at Youth Baseball HS JUCO you never expect to be thanked for something like that but when you get thanked your mind thinks where did that come from but good job blue from another umpire that loves it just as much as you do thanks again for standing up for the right and keeping baseball fun

i think that the umpire in this case in the best was thinking about the players safety to that end the umpire did what he needed to do most of the time you don't expect to be thanked for making a call like that but when it does happen your like where did that come from but this was a good ejection I would have done the same thing no matter what level i do High School or JUCO or Div I

hey there everybody which one do you vetrans think is harder to work the plate or the bases my mom thinks that the plate is where the trouble starts I believe in two way umpiring and that a umpire must be a two way umpire if he is to be successful at whatever level he is at except maybe the pro levels cause i think that the miniors use three umpires but at the HS level and JUCO use two umpire but just wanted to see what you guys think is the hardest to work the plate or the bases just wanted to hear what you guys had to say thanks very much

hey guys I have another question for any of you who want to chat with me about this gift that we call umpiring anyway are there any umpires in Texas who know of a JUCO Umpire Clinic that somewhat close to the Houston/Galvston Area that someone like me that can prepare me for an exciting career in the ranks of college umpires I can only think one college umpire camp but that is so far from Texas any feedback would help in this matter

hello all I would like to ask each those of you what makes you love umpring baseball Is it moving up from level of play to the other or is it having discussions with the coach about a bang bang play that could have gone either way and what level do you enjoy it is tee-ball coach pitch HS or any of the other age groups what is it that makes u love umpring thank you
