umpstu

Have you worked any games yet?

Is the guy behind the catcher wearing gear?

I think in this situation it would be the base umpires call on a tag before first base. I believe the plate umpire might be first baseline extended so he can see both fair foul and the runners touch of 3rd base if he were to attempt to run home. This is a good time for the coach to implement the Mississippi power play where the runner from second just runs across the field missing 3rd altogether.

Good post. On the NFL uniforms, who issues the uniforms, including socks to players? You'd think they would all be getting the same issue uniforms. I think coaches might want to wear shorts,etc. because it might be cooler and more comfortable. I live in an area with a lot of migrant families and as such some schools can't afford more than 1 freshman and JV coach, so I'll actually look the other way if a parent were to wind up in the coaches box when I wasn't looking. It's under grad baseball, not some life or death situation.

I've did it before. I look even more boring than I usually do. No punch out. The only bad part is if it's only you those burners down the line fair or foul. And I did the game for free because the umpire who was assigned didn't show up and I just happened to be there so in a pair of shorts. Tie game after 7.

And doeskin pads feel amazing.

Yeah. I wasn't too happy about it.

Crackpot! Just because.

That's a big if. I was able to umpire 2 hs pickup games in the Coachella Valley and then they stopped. Could be it's now in the 100's or they might have been found out.

Are you wearing a mask?

Where's this ghetto at?

Not arguing. Trying to figure this eye thing out.

Wait. So all of my Mexican friends who look me in the eye are challenging me? Oh, it's on.

What are you talking about? I have been living in the Coachella Valley in southern California for 26 years and it is full Mexican people. Never noticed the no eye contact being a challenge thing.

Born and raised in Missouri. Doesn't hold water.
