Some people call coach Bart a sore loser and other names but the kids work hard all season and do not deserve to end their senior year like that. They say UIL never allows a replay of a game but I am assuming that is with the proper umpire selection and procedure.

I am from South Texas and have heard from fans, coaches and other umpires that they blew this game. Kid obviously slid on the right side if the bag and made contact with F6. I was not there but from the video I saw the umpires favored Eagle Pass. UIL selects umpires from the requested chapter and informs the home team. The home team coach never did his paperwork or received an email. Eagle Pass coach admitted to hand picking his umpires on Monday. Then again UIL failed to have an administrator there for this game. The video is on YouTube sharyland vs eagle pass pt 1.

Once he is in the stretch if it appears he is just adjusting his front foot and is not gaining an advantage then permit it. But if the pitcher starts going to his set position then comes back im calling BALK.

38 seconds left? Yell "BALL GAME" and walk off the winning side dugout ASAP towards the parking lot. We start on my time and end on my time. Had a coach try to pull a fast one on me to start a new inning after time had expired saying "Home team has the official start time" pfffffttt EAT MY SOCKS!

At the clinic I attended some guys had this issue. They recommend not getting in the slot too early. The longer you are squatting waiting on the pitch the more impatient and anxious you may get. Wait till the pitcher is in the set position or starting his wind up before getting set. It helped me track the pitch, read it then call it.

I have a routine for everything from leaving the house, music I listen to on my drive, parking, if the fans are fortunate enough they get to see me get dressed in the parking lot if not their loss and of course my dressing routine: 1. compression pants 2. socks over compression pants 3. plate pants 4. plate shoes 5. shin guards 6. nutty butty aka sunflower seed and a Band-Aid 7. belt then ball bags depending if its varsity I take 1 on each hip with brush and indicator 8. under armour compression shirt 9. chest protector 10. Shirt with umpire card and pen 11. plate cap 12. black or light colored mask depending on shirt color in my left hand THEN....the hour I spend in my man cave cleaning all my gear and organizing it again when I get home...

I'll take the black short sleeve. I sent you a message.

They already have a hotel setup for this. $20 a night for 2 of you. $38 Single They already have a hotel setup for this. $20 a night for 2 of you. $38 Single Rob just emailed me back with the same prices. @T-Rav they are paying $40/game for 2 man system if you stay the 2nd week.

Its in Orlando correct? What are some hotels nearby that have a reasonable price?

I use underarmour leggings and it helps. The comfort of not having the shing guard rub against your skin in this heat Texas is a plus.

I see a possible road trip. Let you know what I decide. $300 is not bad for a week.

Hahaha thanks! Luckily i had no issues all game.

"C'mon blue!! That was outside!! Call it both ways!!" Seriously, congratulations!!!

Worked the plate for the Semi Final state championship in Texas TAPPS. Great baseball and had the privilege to call this game. I was then selected to work the Championship Game the following day at 3rd base. Again great game! First time at the state championship.

I appreciate...this website helps a lot with the awkward situations.

I've been registered for 2 months now but mainly cruise different topics and discussions. I recently got the news of working the plate for a semi final varsity game in Texas. I need some good solid suggestions on what to bring up during our plate meeting? I have a general ballpark idea of what to discuss but would appreciate other ideas.
