[Jocko]

Can we please start a "Train the rook scholarship fund"

[gnhbua93]

That is the new plate mechanic from PBUC red book, starting with the 2013 season, that will be teach at the Umpire Schools and the PBUC Evaluation Course.

I'm watching and all I can think of, seeing his partner in C, is "what the heck would I do if I showed up for a game and this guy was my partner? :wow:

[BRUMP]

That was you who was filming the game??

[Dannytheman]

Now that, right there, is funnny!! I want a pair of pull up sweats to wear behind the plate.

:big_no :big_no

I feel bad for the players in the game. This (using the term loosely) umpire is obviously doing all that on purpose for attention so the focus is on him.

I completely agree. And what is with antlers/devil horns on his punchout?

Sheesh. I go away for a year, and you all hunt me down, film my plate work, and post it on here? That's not a great way to welcome a guy back!

Actually, what you see is the culmination of a year's worth of training.

(Looking at Yawetag's head) Where's the memory erase function on this thing?

A few Crown and Cokes will be a good start.

A combination of a new work schedule, morning college classes, being a father, and in what free time was available, umpiring. I did more games this year than any of the previous two years, most of which were in August and afterward. Tried out for the college ranks of my organization, where I was critiqued better than I'd ever been through the organization.

In short, U-E had to take a back burner, unfortunately. However, the winter months should allow some more time here.

[Stan W.]

you were witnessing the honor graduate of the Lance Cokalinski school of umpiring... (inside joke for all you long time guys)

seriously these are the things that make us all look bad.........and dishearten all those of us who train new umpires......

[mstaylor]

Wow Stan, I had completely forgotten about Lance.

[Stan W.]

Mike,

how could you forget the classics....all taught at the cokalinski combine! just to be able to hear, in person, the moving and inspirational lectures would be worth the price of admission........

who could afford to miss out on these favorites?

"9" man mechanics for the 60' diamond"

"On the Bubble".....Coach management for advanced Umpires in the 21st century...

"Getting the BIG GAMES!"

"How to advance your umpring career without letting small things like umpiring skill or rules knowledge get in the way.."

[mstaylor]

Sometimes as you get older you forget the early years. :)
