  1. and i would imagine that if some in your area, state or states, have that same model and assign pretty much all the sports mens and womens (football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball, field hockey, wrestling, baseball, softball, track and field for a school and then get 50 to 100 schools that is some $50-100k grand gig just from the schools. nice if they have a sweet paying regular traditional job that allows the time needed to do this on the side. would imagine some might charge the official a flat fee amount for each sport rather than 3$ per game also.
  2. so this means with any substitute coach/coaches you will go straight to the ejection button, or do you have to go through that hear them, acknowledge them, warn them, eject them, routine (baseballs equal to the alcoholic anonymous step program) with each remaining substitute coach/coaches individually with the 4 step program (yes i know i used the wrong words for that 4 step program but i cannot remember the exact words.
  3. here we go again, where is that tiktok video of the assault or other video from the complex. apparently a firefighter at that. https://www.pennlive.com/crime/2024/12/youth-basketball-coach-punched-referee-in-the-face-over-bad-call-at-central-pa-game.html
  4. new contract agreement, but no vote till next month, and no details till the vote ratification supposedly https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-umpires-association-reach-collective-bargaining-agreement
  5. article with some parameters for ABS use in Korea this past year https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20240125005400315 and then article on how it was working a couple months later https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20240313004700315 and new rules/or metrics for 2025 https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/pitch-clock-and-abs-system-among-key-changes-for-kbo-in-2025/ar-AA1viuBT?ocid=BingNewsSerp. and, are we being leaders with available technologies or just copycat followers later on after everyone else has perfected things for us.
  6. do you get 'dinged' now if you do the old umpire school school taught pivot nowdays, in a 2,3,4 man scenario where 1BU might have to take runner to 2B, like the old guy mentioned to me, like he got dinged at the school for not taking one, when he went to the school years ago. question is for NFHS, NCAA, and MiLB
  7. article from May where it looks like they moved the top of the y axis in triple a from the year before from 51 to 53.5. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/mlb/robot-umpire-challenge-system-spring-training-2026-regular-season-possible/3914482/?os=avdf&ref=app https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5938669/2024/11/21/mlb-robot-umpires-testing-spring-training/
  8. article with opinions https://www.aol.com/sports/why-want-bastardize-game-mlb-141209077.html
  9. i only know how to click on the umpires and get their individual data. i aint no techie (my flip phone says so) i went to data downloads and clicked on ejections and something downloaded but i am not sure when i dragged it, if it works. something is showing as ejections.csv below but i do not know if it will open for you. it did for me and ejections were current up to 9/29/2024 as a running total. hope this works, but if not i have no idea what i am doing. ejections.csvejections.csv ejections.csv
  10. @SeeingEyeDog or maybe, you might want to take another angle for 'special' with the 2007 season high attendance. although he had been re-instated to call up status in 2005 and 2006, 'full time' re-instatement did not occur until 2007 for the former umpire with allegedly one of the most well known strike 3 calls in all of baseball, ie Tom Hallion and a you tube for you to enjoy
  11. you could also tinker with fence distances, maybe 5 feet at a time all over or shorter from deep right field to deep center to deep left field only. more home runs but also more balls off the fence for doubles triples or long singles here and there. of course i do not think anyone wants a super slow pitch game of 30-25 scores with 10 home runs a piece either. @SeeingEyeDog 2007 lots of teams in playoffs that were not in the year before, 3 players going for 500 dingers and bonds setting HR record.
  12. retrosheet umpire stats went up yesterday. you can search all games worked, ejections, crews, etc. if you so desire
  13. make the rules to the results you want. so what does MLB want to happen in the perfect game to them, and how many times do they want each team to be able to replicate the perfect game. all the time 100% or 10% of the time. just adjust the strike zone high/low with the ADS system when it is fully implemented to get more action. action starts at the plate, so either lower the top of the zone, or raise the bottom of the zone or lower and raise it to make the historical average of 257 move upward to whatever number you think would make for a great game all the time. 275, 300. how about 2 designated hitters. one for the pitcher and one for the guy who is just suppose to advance the runner with a grounder or bunt him over. then where would you put 2 dh's. put one as 4th batter and the other at 9th as a rule. i think strike zone modifications would work the best high/low. but, you have to be transparent and give the new y axis numbers each year so people know what they are. pitchers can adjust and you have to allow that the best pitchers in baseball may now have era's of 4 and below, not 3 and below.
  14. uniform total weight=1 ounce
  15. get out those babbel books for german https://x.com/NFL/status/1855627931948667002?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1855627931948667002|twgr^0cfb38ffe3dbc6c11aee6e5f6813c98b653967f8|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbnation.com%2Fnfl%2F2024%2F11%2F10%2F24292791%2Fnfl-ref-calls-penalty-german-crowd-reaction-panthers-giants
