I'll agree it is LL, but you have to agree that LL has made this what it is.

They have gotten the contracts with ESPN, they have put forth the tremendous effort to have now even the regional games televised.;

So IMO they owe it to themselves to police their umpires as well as they do their coaches and players. Where have been the coaches screaming and hollering about these obvious mistakes????


If I were calling the WS games, I would want the scrutiny for myself. I would expect to make a mistake, but I would also know that I would know how to properly handle myself to make the situation correct.

IMO these umpires don't seem to have what it takes (what I call experience) to fix the problems.

CI - simply ask for help thats easy.

OB call at second - get together with your partners and make the call together.

I've been there and got the cap and shirt so I know how much pressure they have. But I know that I learned through the years of doing these types of games how to handle any situation that might arise.

So LL owes it to the players in the game to make sure they have umpiring that will go along with the hoopla they have created for the games themselves.

Now off my soapbox and I'm done.

Thanks
