I wasn't sure what to title this, but I am sure many of you run into the same issue. Coaches live under the assumption that having two or more umpires on a field means that they can appeal calls they do not like with the opposite umpire. In my opinion, its like the child who doesn't get their way with mom, so they try to go to dad. When I am the "offending umpire," I usually say, "I can check with my partner and see if he saw anything." We get together, and I am happy to reverse my call if he saw something that would warrant that. I never reverse a call made by my partner, and my partners have never reversed a call made by me. We have a great association! The problem I have is knowing what to say when I am the umpire to which they are trying to appeal. Here's what I have used so far: "That's his call, if you have a question you need to speak with him." "I didn't see anything that would change the call." "I cannot reverse calls" (This one is terrible. I shouldn't have used it, but I did in a moment of frustration) My suspicion is that the first one is best, but I am open to other suggestions. I don't want to say anything that is going to throw my partner under the bus.

May be a long shot but has anyone tried spikeless golf shoes as Base Shoes? Thoughts on these? Thanks!

@DerekGDS this may have already been asked, but what is the difference between the Enduro and the MK2?

Purchased a mask from @MAUmpire! Great experience. Quick shipment. Great communication.

FS: Gerry Davis, Plus-pos, Wilson Mask stuff
cwbaseball11 replied to MAUmpire's topic in Buy, Sell or Trade
Is the +Pos Zro-G mask still available? -
Anybody use these field shoes? Can you give a review? I'm particularly wondering about traction. We have a variety of different surfaces in our region, and Spring can be pretty soggy in Kentucky. Thanks!

I know this is a longshot, but any chance any of the shirts are still available?
-
Has anyone tried them yet? I keep getting emails advertising them. They intrigue me.

Would a Honig's $7.99 harness work or would I still need the sticky tack/velcro?

My beloved umplife harness is struggling to stay in position with a skullcap. Any tips or tricks? Thanks.

I am looking at upgrading my plate shoes. I currently have the Smitty plate shoes which have served me well for the past two HS seasons. Which plate shoes do you recommend? New Balance or Mizuno? Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever ordered from Stripes and Strikes? www.stripesandstrikes.com Is it legit?
