double call

[MidAmUmp]

THe only thing they change is when the BU is in A, he has all fly ball in the U , just like when there are runners on and the BU starts in the B or C .The reasoning is it allows both umpires to have an eye on the ball and the BU can get as good or better view of the catch no catch then the PU.  The PU still has out fielder playing the ball towards the  line.  It also means the  The PU has all the lines, and the BU wilL Never go out.  Since the BU never goes out the PU wil never take the runnner into 2nd .  Since the PU has touch/no touch at first the BU can head right to  the working area position if the ball drops and the runnner advances. 

 

But back to my question if you have 2 umpires  making a call and ones clearly quicker then the other what would you do.   I could see thi happening with a fly bal with runers on , or 2 umpires at 3rd on a rotation.  I did get some good answers and i have worked enough gsames on how to get together and fix something like this. 

That's it...I'm done.

Well then! If that's the only thing!!!

Sounds like mechanics for those who can't run. Sometimes you have a guy where you know you're not going out from A. They still do a good job but mobility is an issue.

1 - do as your association instructs 2 - if you want to progress as an umpire, learn the CCA mechanics for umpiring.

Most college associations recognize and follow the CCA guidelines.

If that's what my association was teaching I'd be finding a new association!

there's no good fix for a double-call. Umpire ethics be damned, your college assignor may hear about a reversal, but he'll certainly hear about a riot.

I think this has gotten off topic.  His question was concerning the double call...not the mechanics.  The mechanics are awful and I would highly recommend them investing in a CCA manual and adhering to it if umpires in that association have a desire to advance to a higher level..............

But, as far as a double call: get together and get the call right, warn and eject as it is warranted, finish the game, change clothes, and head to a local watering hole where all beverages will be on the offending umpire's tab.

Boy I wish someone had said this backin post number 2.
