Matt I am not sure why you find the need to defend jacko? He is a grown man who can defend himself he does not need you running to defend his honor or whats left of it. He got owned and exposed so he took his ball and went home. If I were you I would worry about myself since you like to attack guys like magic for no reason...oh wait you got owned on that one....are you jacko?

Im done. added to my block list. That makes all of........2 Your 6,243 post was the best post you ever made.

It would also be sad if new guys came here to join in and were attacked by know it all umpires who feel like they are better than everyone else cause they have 6,242 post.

Jocko you wrote on another postAny BU worth his salt is gonna have a better angle and see the entire play. Do we kick em? From time to time, sure. But generally a timing issue and not a pulled foot kinda thing. Not from A. I can't recall ever getting together on a play at 1B with no other baserunners. I am confused cause before you said even if you kick the play oh well you are not going to talk to your partner cause you are worth your salt (Not sure what that means unless you are a horse). Now you are saying it is ok to talk to your partner. Do you change your view day to day or does it change with who post? or did you come around to the ideal that getting help on a play to make sure it is the right call is better than your pride? This has nothing to do with pride. An umpire in A is more likely to get it right on his own than by going to his partner. He said never go to your partner now he is saying go to your partner. if you didnt read step....if you didnt do your job....if your partner gives you "the look"....etc. THEN get together. Again, 99.9999999% of the time, you should NOT need help. But, then, I am a damn good umpire with damn good partners. and, for the record, I was in referring to BU getting help while he's in A. And I still stand behind that. If you're in the working area with no rotations, HP doing HIS job is to assist you on a pulled foot/swipe tag, should you need another set of eyes. I never once said never get together. Stop putting words in my mouth. You said you have kicked plays at first in the A position and then you said you have never went to your partner for help in the A position. So what you are saying is you would rather kick a play then go to your partner and get it right.

This is a joke right? Its a joke I promise lol

I have no problem with you telling the coach how much time he has left or how many he needs to avoid the run rule. It is your game to call and your choice. I however do not do it and here is why - I already told him in the plate meeting what the run rule is - If he is losing that bad he is going to be mad and this is where he might take a jab or go off on you - He has a scoreboard right in front of him showing him the score - If he has forgot about the run rule it is easier to tell him after the game so when he gets red hot you can walk away. I do not think it gives the coach a advantage at all. I dont think he is saying he does not want to be there I think he is like alot of us and if the game is that far out of reach no one wants to be out there any longer than they have to.

ok ..... regardless of how you present those words ....... THAT'S GOT to come across redass If I was his UIC, I'd come onto the field and correct this immediately. If you were my UIC and you came out on my field to correct anything I said or did you'd better have your plate gear on............. Calm down buddy, it's a little joke. I've seen a lot of guys comment with too many warnings. I agree. I gave a lot more rope than I usually do. My ejection totals were high and I was thinking the problem was me. So I went into this with the mindset of ignore more and make sure to give a definite warning before tossing. Now I realize I work with a bunch of uneducated coaches. Or knucleheaded ones. James Walker I know what you mean. I had a big total of ejections last year and all off season I thought maybe I am letting coaches get to me and I need to calm down and give them a little more rope. That changed the first week this year when I realized giving the coaches more rope only made it worse instead of making it better.

Do you not see the irony in you taking exception to guys coming on this message board and telling you how to do your job??? Do you not understand that I am told by my boss and by the GM of the complex to do things like I have already posted? You come on here and tell me I should not do things like I do but I am told to do it like that. If you were in my shoes you would do as told also. I work hard and in the couple of months I have been there I have got tons of people telling the GM the umpires have been doing alot better and they can see the difference. That is what I care about and that is what makes me proud so I guess I could care less about what others think of me and really glad I will never have to work with some of these mlb umpires we have on here cause I am guessing they are not so great when they are not on a commputer.

If a coach ask me at the plate meeting where my zone is my response is You figure it out My response to a coach who wants to talk about balls and strikes is and always has been "Coach you know good and well we dont talk about balls and strikes"

I would be mad if another umpire acted like this on a field toward me I would be red hot if a friend acted like this on a field toward me When my game was over I would have drove to his house and lit him up (scream not punch) for the way he acted and the position he put me in.

yeah but what if somebody calls my momma a whore?

Also dont call balks it is bad game management
