Welcome. This site will be very helpful for you.

Welcome to the site. Take the above advice and read further on the board. Be receptive to advice/criticism.

I found a copy of 'Maximinzing the Two-Umpire System' on Amazon for about $240. I sent the seller this email: Just out of curiosity, why is this book so expensive? I'm looking to get one but I can get a new one for around $70. I can't imagine anyone spending that price for this book. Thanks! Here is their response: Good morning, We can offer to you a 30% of discount if you buy it right now. We are modifying the price in the system. It is available in 15 minutes and if you want the book, you need buy it immediatly before someone else buy it. Thanks for buying with us I wonder if they are Punking me? There are three available on Amazon now. Two @ $163.00, and one for $325. The latter comes autographed by Jim Evans, according to the item description. I'll take all three !!! ha ha ha

All I can say about this situation is that this will happen in 2 man. I would only add that you should not move to anticipate a throw to second. The throw to third could (and did) cause you to be out of position or looking in the wrong direction.

And did he say call strikes ? .... Welcome

This thread is getting really funny. Should be moved to the Funny stories section.

Hate it when any of my umpires call pitches. I try to get them away from this but usually to no avail. Some do change but ...

Agree with everybody above. Let him live/die with this. (Mostly die)

Per 8.02 (OBR) the penalty is a ball on the batter.

Welcome.

Correct and I agree.

Welcome !

This sounds great. I may try it. Can I get a copy.

I think the lower you go in age of the players, the worse it gets , especially with the fanatic parents (even worse when the parents are coachs)
