@Majordave - too true. There are as many horsehit umpires as there are horseSH*# coaches. It still amazes me how many guys I meet that actually believe some of the mythical 'rules' . And these fkrs think they're the best umps ever to wear a cp. It's sad, really.

I thought you were going to agree with the "umpires doing too many games in a weekend...." part. 

 

Phew... 

 

Jocko never met a schedule that he didn't like....

@ - I would take issue with the list of whom you value respect from. I value the opinions of my peers, mentor, and assignors. Players, coaches, fans, etc can go suck eggs. I dont do what I do to GET repsect. I do it to GIVE repsect. For the game I love and that has meant so much to me all my life.

The young ones you speak of don't respect the game.

Remember, that coach that 'respects' you and sings your praises is one critical out from calling you the worst umpire ever. You have one friend on the field......your partner.

Thats a fair point,

 

 

 It's not a "fair"point, kid, it is a spot-on, excellent point.

@ MikeSafari, we had that play making the rounds about 3 years ago. One way to remedy that bunt up the 1st baseline and runner cutting the corner is for the plate guy to not chase the ball up the line but to drop back on 1BL extended. It gives you a good look fair/foul and opens up the field for a glance at the runner rounding third

But that's not the proper mechanic.
