Should an official really be worrying about a State game when deciding what call to make during a season/district game? Does that official have his/her frame of mind in the right place for the purity of the game? These games are not about the umpire! You need to worry about calling what you see every play no matter what game it is, let the kids decide what happens by the plays they make. ANY TEAM, Any team can beat any other team on any given day so quit worrying about who is the "dominating" team and do your job completely unbiased like we're supposed to.
In regards to your district game with you as the PU, P U pretty much covers it but you failed to mention a few things. Did you disagree with your partner's nonchalant-sloppy out call at 1st or was it the right call? While your partner was talking to the fans/crowd did he not cover your a** on a dropped 3rd strike that you for some reason did not see? Did you stop to think that maybe you couldn't see it because you stand straight up behind the plate instead of getting down so you can see the zone? Heck, maybe no ones ever told you that your zone could improve and setting your eyes at the top of a batter's zone will help you greatly. Then again, perhaps you didn't learn from one of the best commissioner's around. You ought to try getting to know people before making your biased judgements.
Good Luck on improving as an official, you definately need it.

Okay, I think I owe somebody a response here.

DTTB You are wasting your breath. UpTownBG is probably the pseudonym for BBallCoach (a mole)who most likely has been barred from the forum by the moderators.
