Blue tells him she is legal and tells me not to worry about when I ask whats going on.
Then, bottom of the last inning with about 5 min left in a time limit game, score tied one to one, runner on first one out, the ump goes out to my pitcher and tells her she has to change her motion and start with the ball in her pitching hand, and bring it to her glove before she starts her motion.
His reason? The other coach and fans have been complaining all game!

Besides the other nonsense, as soon as you hear the word present or presenting about a pitcher, you know the speaker is having a Little League brain freeze.
