Truly a denigration on a lot of fine umpires that work hard to learn proper mechanics and rulings. Perhaps you meant to write "send ump back into retirement in Edinburg, TX" instead?

It would be an amazing response from anyone except you, Hayes. You "assume" it is a denigration of
all Little League. In fact, it speaks only of the Little League in the area where that assignor lives: All volunteers, no consistent training, no clinics, one "umpire" assigned, another pitcked from the stands. Surely, you, as a professional Little League umpire, are familiar with that scenario.
I suggest you read my posts more carefully in the future.
By the way: You know what happens when you "assume." Right?
