I am not waiting 2 hours for the dirt to get there and another 2 hours for the grounds crew (if there is one) to get the field in shape.

And the article was typical- "umpire's judgment call" followed shortly thereafter by "flooded field". In other words, the umpires decided not to play where the kids would have needed SCUBA equipment. How terrible of the umpires, who obviously do nothing but sit around and think of new, creative ways to favor one side or the other.

Bad call, Blue. You're cheating the kids.

Strikes and outs!

In High School State Championship play(in many states) have no say whatsoever in calling the game. The game management people make the call.
