mikeburnett298: https://m.epicsports.com/Baseball/p/10485/index.html I think you said 3/2/2, but this was the closest I could get, and at least it has the count in the right order…..instead of these heathens with strikes first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While staring him down after your call on the banger, “You missed that one, coach.” “You know we’re not looking at you when you safe your own guys, right?” “How come you’ve never given a punch-out coach?” Mostly, he needs ignored. Unless it includes some hysterics or unacceptable vocals. But if he looks like a fool flapping his arms, I really don’t care. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You mean like a partner I had this year who’s license plate said…… You do you, bro. But I probably won’t broadcast that SH*#. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1. Yes it is. Don’t take those direct shots. 2. I can’t remember who quipped this one on UE a few weeks ago - “yeah, keep it up and you won’t be here to see number 2.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“…must now simulate taking a sign…” “Coach, in my judgement, to me it looked like he looked at his catcher.” Problem solved. Ask yourself this: in your local areas, will your coaches expect a run on uber-enforcement of this? Let me be clear - you did not just interpret me saying “I’ll decide which rules I follow.” Not at all. I just don’t think this will be a problem. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know. But time will tell.

Proper mechanic for PU on uncaught 3rd strike
Catch18 replied to rhinolith's topic in Umpire Mechanics
I will give a strike signal on the pitch/swing (I’m a point to the side guy) then as I’m coming out from behind I’ll give a safe signal (probably hold for 3-4 steps) and say no catch (just once). Have never had any ambiguity or mistakes/misunderstanding with that. If it’s the oddball U3K looking, substitute my punchout for strike point and continue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Well, the OP did say glove-side…… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is merely your opinion. The rest doesn’t matter. Thanks for stopping by. Next time try the scorekeepers’ or coaching forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a n adult slow pitch rule and used in a league I used to administer. It’s a fantastic idea for youth travel tournaments. Alas, too many superdads would bitch and moan something about runs allowed/scored/differential and whine about seeding. So it won’t be employed. +1 for the idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I asked a non-umpire to write a technical description of a 1960s umpire uniform, this would get an A. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is cool, but unfortunate at the same time….I’ve got both a gold & plat. Oh well….. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is a “TW retrofit gold?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Um, hearing a coach complain, and then coming up with bogus enforcement of a rule that really isn’t necessary are vastly different. And let’s be honest, having a team get boat-raced 16-0, you’re sticking around to hear about batting gloves under a fielders glove? #oldwivestales Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
