... Honestly Al, I would rather have kids umpiring than adults. We only have Minor and Majors to worry about, which is quite different than your situation. The...
Not to start a debate but I respectfully disagree with Bat. In my own experience many a good umpire started out on the dark side. After being forced to umpire...
I was attempting to make lemonade from this sour situation, as I was working the dish at a Majors game yesterday morning. I mentioned this new mandate to some...
In 1998 my son's coach was required to umpire some minor games. He asked if some parents would take some of the spots because of all of his other obligations....
Does anybody know if there will be an umpire registry this year? Joe Joseph M. Mano Jr. Mano, McKerricher & Paroutaud, Inc, PC P.O. Box 1123 Chehalis, WA...
There will be. It will be open renewals later this month and I assume they will be accepting new registrations around the same time. Travis Brown CA D3...
Hi Joe, Is there supposed to be somethng on the attachments? I get a white rectangual and then a white dot on the 2nd attachment??  Ian ... From: Joseph...
It's a good point that Clay makes, and one I've heard for years. I've never like the word FORCED when used with LL, but if it works for your leagues, then...
... Just off the top of my head..... ... By whatever name you try to use, you are in fact going to "replace" an umpire during a game. Not permitted per...
I don't have a book with me right now ... but ... An umpire can be stationed anywhere that permits him to perform his duties. If his duties are solely to...
Like many things, it’s a mystery to me. I didn’t put them there. Joe Joseph M. Mano Jr. Mano, McKerricher & Paroutaud, Inc, PC P.O. Box 1123 Chehalis, WA...
The more comments I see about making a manager or coach or some other adult who will not be making calls during the game the UIC, the more I shake my head....
Scott, You don't really think the rule says the UIC can overrule his partner, do you? I don't think you do but any newbies reading your letter might think so...
If two umpires make different calls on the same play, they're supposed to get together and the UIC determines the correct call. So, in theory, the UIC could...
Actually will that is incorrect. The umpires can talk about the call, but the umpire who made the call is the umpire who decides what call they go with. ...
Read 9.04 (c). You are thinking if an umpire makes a call and then is asked to get help. I'm talking about when you happen to have two umpires make two...
Bruce, I'm just looking for ways to get around this stupid mandate. My guys don't need adult supervision. I don't have the adults to work games, nor do I need...
... I would advise all to be very careful with the words used when discussing these type subjects.... especially THIS subject. Please read the following slowly...
Thank you, Andy. Very well put as usual. The most important thing is that two umpires should not be making calls on the same play. What I think Scott was...
Andy ... I (we ... I am sure) agree with you TOTALLY and fully understand the rule. We here are all umpires and that is how we work. That said ... You put a...
Exactly Rita ... but designating one coach as UIC puts two umpires potentially on one call, and one of those umpires is biased from the start. How many times...
I just got a response from the legal department at WP. He stated it wasn't fair to the "children" (he kept using the phrase "child umpire") to put them in...
Rita ... do i THINK an umpire can over rule his partner ? No ... Do I think that a coach ... designated as the UIC ... who has just called his own runner safe...
Come on Will... You're a better Umpire than that... You don't really think that this VERY SILLY IDEA of having a Coach be the designated UIC will allow him...
