Hey, we have another batter!
His quote: "( Nobody said umpires don't have tendencies.)"
Oh, but they did, which is why I mentioned it. Perhaps you should stretch your brain far enough to read the entirity of the thread (or even the entirity of my comment).
What kcs_hiker said: "it's kind of a dumb question... every umpire is going to call the strike zone defined by the rules as consistently as possible."
In other words, no tendencies. Just a strict obedience to the rules, the very questioning of which, is, in his (her?) words is: "kind of a dumb question."
But to understand that without him saying "umpires don't have tendencies" in bold, capital letters, you would actually have to employ interpretive thought. I know, it hurts the head to do think that way. Try morphine...dulls the pain...
(this is great! Since no one here has a shred of decency or courtesy, I can see what it's like to be a total prick for myself! **** courtesy! **** decency! **** manners, reason, and friendliness! Maybe that's why fools like you enjoy places like this!!!!)
Next comment: "( Maybe you should contact the "mob".I'm sure they have all the info you can stand.)"
I have no idea what this means. You found it an important point, though. I don't know that it proves or disproves anything, but it was a nice shot!
Next comment: "( All levels of umpires are discussed here.Maybe when you ask for info from people you don't know,perhaps you should be just a touch more specific. )"
A recurring theme! Very good, guys! Disregard any original thought! Just get pissed and stay pissed! And if three people say something, by god, jump on board! Strength in numbers!
No one seems to understand, "hey, do you know of an information site on umpires?" Not clear enough for this site. Apparently I caused great animosity by my lack of clarity. I can see how a question that ridiculous, that horrendous, that insulting, could get this little forum all fired up!
And besides, the Longwood Lumber team lost the C+ men's softball league this season. Yep, that would piss me off, too.
Drop it! It's a stupid argument! Reasonable people in a decent forum would have replied: "Are you looking for specific umpires?" or "yes, I have info on umpires. Which ones are you looking for?" or "Sorry, don't know of any sites about that". Or they would have replied nothing at all!!!!!
But in this forum, such a simple response does not seem possible. The initial response was, instead, bizarre, and vaguely homosexual.
Next comment: "(And if you think you know more about calling balls and strikes than most folks here,I'd love to come out to the park to watch you work.)"
Again and again, I have no idea what that means or what it has to do with anything.
Okay, man, you call a mean game of high school ball. Whatever. That has nothing to do with my question, but I'm sure it will rally your troops on this site to your side. Maybe you can find some other people to call me "*******!" because you call a hell of a game of balls and strikes.
Um...
And your last comment: " Hostility? You don't know from hostility.I would recommend reading any post by "rulesgeek", "dudeinblue",or several others.They've seen true hostility,full force.)"
Again and again and again, I have no idea what that means (further, I don't care...is this some war reference? Don't answer....please, don't answer), but I guess you showed me!
It's been fun, dudes! This is, honestly, the first forum I've ever asked a question on in my whole life. It's vaguely Simpson-esque, reminding me of the comic book store guy, writing asinine, pseudo-knowledgeable commentary to other nameless, faceless, jackass writers of the forum-world, getting all pissed off, giving his 'livingrooom wisdom' to cyberspace.
Carry on. Games are over today. Hope you all enjoy the playoffs. Great time of year.
I'm going to get some sleep. Please, yell at me some more. It will give me something to do while I watch the games tomorrow.
