Twice, in close to 20 years, I have had catchers miss pitches that I deemed intentional. Both catchers stayed in the game approximately 3-5 seconds after I got hit, with NO questions asked. They knew it and they found out real fast that so did I.
I don't care how much you get paid or not for officiating or if it is your regular job or not. When you accepted that assignment and walked on the field it became your regular job for the next 1-3 hrs. You were obligated to perform your duties as an official, and in a professional manner.
I agree, "quit being a wimp."
If your doing a league that the talent is that bad than no one is going to object to a little constructive or pro active suggestions to helping you live longer. So, forget the "I'm not there to coach bull". How about doing it for self preservation. The fact that the league is that bad, I just can believe they won't be open to some constructive advice.
Your other choices! Go behind the mound or don't do those games.
But for god sakes, "Quit whinning"
Many of you wouldn't last a minute officiating Ice Hockey, where sometimes they can not only, not play, but not skate, not shoot or not check. Then your looking behind you at all times and all ways.
Next thing you know people will be saying its acceptable to throw players out of the game because they are soo bad that the games are taking too long and you have to stand on your feet too long and it is extra wear and tear on you and your getting tired and you would have never taking the game if you knew it was going to be this bad and Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
As already implied here, SUCK it up, Shut up, or find a different sport to officiate.
