Called a game today between one of our local Tulsa teams and a team from Ft Worth. If I didn't know better I would seriously believe that umpires in Texas don't make the varsity pitchers "hit their mark" or "spot".
I got the Texas catcher setting up on the outside corner. Reached clear in to the inside corner for a curve ball barely on the black. Ball I say. You'd think I shot the Pope or something.
I will give a little bit of a reach as after all they are high school kids and not college or pros but not that much. Of course then when the Tulsa catcher reaches just a little, I'm inconsistant.
So what is up you Texas umps? You giving us "Okie" umps a bad rep by doing this!!!!
