My sources have been utilized here for quite some time. They keep proving me right. Unlike you, I actually worked the games that are in question. I earned the right to say what I want about the current regime. That's far more than you can say.

? Your sources are? and you worked specifically what? you don't get to claim anything unless you are willing to back it up.



1.) Stop twisting words, I wrote that recent pro school graduates were offered jobs as replacements. They were and are working at some low levels.

School washouts- lets get our facts straight
2.) Read #1

3.) Earlier arguments from the AMLU support group (sounds like a twelve step program) cited that if a 'scab' wanted the right to work in the Minors, he should have paid the money for pro school and been asked to work. Hmmmm...

If they weren't good enough out of school what does that tell you about the willingness of MiLB to put any guy in a blue shirt on the field regardless of umpiring ability?

Of course, you must be omniscient to be able to judge an umpire's talent and potential, sight unseen. I'm curious, how does one get that job? Did you have to go to pro school?

I only call what I'VE SEEN!

The hole just keeps getting deeper for those thinking like you. The replacements are working out just fine and by the middle of May some top flight D1 umpires will be available for work in the AAA. The AMLU boys made a serious error and are scrambling to target those who are doing just fine. The photos and names on their site are proof of how low they'll stoop. I recall an email that demnaded that as brothers in umpiring we need to support each other. They refused those assignments and now trash the reputations of those that remember their role in the game...nice! Of course, that is only my opinion.

You can try to convince yourself and others that this is true, but you know and time will show the reality of the situation to be otherwise. There is a reason your career ended when it did...
