Here is a new one for you. The same umpire that I have had issues with all Season finally got to toss me.
I have a twelve year old on the mound and a 13 year old behing the plate. My catcher caught a borderline pitch. I asked the Catcher" where did you catch that". He didn't answer. My pitcher was struggling struggling a little, so I called time to talk to my pitcher. My catcher came up to me and said
" Coach, the umpire just told me that if I answer you when you ask me where the pitch was , that he won't call a strike for us the rest of the game". (to 13 year old kid!)
I asked the umpire if he said that, and he said that I don't need to be questioning "his authortiy". "I said, if I was questioning your authority I would of asking you where the pitch was. " Since i am trying to get my 12 year old pitcher to figure out where the strike zone was, I decided to ask my catcher, as to not offend you...
