There's nothing more mentally tough then working the dish for a game where both pitchers suck, hitters aren't swinging, and defenses are giving offenses 8outs an inning. that's my point.

No, I didn't know your point. I only knew what you wrote, which was far different from your current post.
In your original post on this subject you weren't comparing better players or better teams within the same level. You compared Varsity with U9 and stated the higher the "level" the easier they are to work.
This is simply not true. If it were, LLDan would be a MiLB umpire.
I do agree that for umpires trained for and experienced in any certain level, the higher quality players and teams, WITHIN that level, are far more enjoyable to work and create less stress. But if you put an umpire experienced only at the U9 level in a Varsity game, you'd have one hell of sh!t house.
