Perception is reality.

 

Sounded like a strike.

 

And the ever famous Don't suck.

All true.

Thanks

You will only regret the ejection you missed. Don't balk it if you can't explain it. Try to make your explanations five words or less. No, there does not need to be contact for interference. Obstruction does not require intention.

From the master. These are NoSH*#ters.

One of my umpire supervisors said this at a clinic, " Strikes and outs will get you home." I know it is similar to one you have but I thought I would post it.

Yes, Yes!

I heard something like this one time. How about this one, " The more you say to the coach, the more the coach can use against you."

How could I forget my famous "They play 80% of the games with 20% of the rules. We get paid to know the other 80%."

It's not a balk if he does it every time.

It is if he balks every time.

The less you say is the less you say.

I tell all our new umpires this.

Dont be a plumber (or as taught at one of the schools, Dont be a detective).

 

Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.

 

Nip it.  Nip it in the bud.

 

A good umpire uses his good judgement so he doesnt have to demonstrate his good game management skills.

 

You cant make chicken salad out of chicken s***.
