This brings up an issue I was curious about. Most of our responses have an implied "support" from the Board. What happens if the Board is not supportive of...
I will not work for a league that does not support their umpires 100% David Burt CA-71 P.S. I am blessed to have a local league pres that always has my back...
A bit off topic but related in regards to board support. I started last year in my 8th year as an Umpire and as UIC to a new area, I found it odd that when I...
The alternative to leaving, stay and change the situation. It takes a change at the board level to become a parent run league. It takes preaching the true...
Yeah, Will... that inside pitch is just baseball. Now if he had hit the batter, that's another deal all together. Out they both go... And if the Catcher was...
I attended the Western Region Little League Outreach clinic in Corvallis Oregon this weekend. I debated not going when I came down with a cold this weekend...
Henry, I always answer these types of questions with the same answer. and, by these types of questions, I mean... questions where the umpire or coach is...
Hi Rita, Thanks for the report. WR dropped one of the weekend sessions in San Bernardino in order to do these out reach clinics. It is cheaper to fly a few...
That seems strange. I didn't see the game, but Eddie was the first instructor I had who taught me to track the ball into the glove. He's a darn god ball n'...
Jeff, Ed M. probably is getting ready to retire. 30 years wow. I know I be laid back some also with that under my belt. I did watch that game also. Tracking...
I watched Bruce Froemming behind the plate once. And it was rare to see him get out from back there. They had some different four man mechanics because he...
I went to the retirement dinner for Bruce held at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. Bruce attained/earned his position as senior umpire in the ML's and he decided...
It doesn't really matter what level one umpires at: The behavior of players and managers isn't all that different, is it? Rita ... Athletic ... ML's and ... ...
LL juniors. Pitcher is taking his signs and leaning forward on one leg as they do. Suddenly he whips his shoulder toward first base for a look. Rita...

My first game tonight. I had the plate. I sucked. Anyway, here's the situation that I think we (I) could have handled better. Maybe. R1, ball is hit to F4...

I'd like your comments on a call I had last night. I was the base umpire, Majors game, C position, runners on 1 and 2, 1 out. Ground ball to the pitcher, a...
That's a hard call to get right in a two man crew system. If you started a little deeper you still might have gotten sucked towards third and still had the...
The whole point of the rule is to make sure fielders don't get in the way of the runner when not in possession of the ball. In this case, it's a lousy deal,...
