Tell that to the umpire that told me - he's been umpiring since 1957 so he has 50 years and is still active in Illinois. He's been to 10 state finals and Umpire-in-Chief for either A or AA each year for the past 7.
As the saying goes, some umpires have xx years experience and some have one year's experience xx times.
I guess that kind of shoots a hole in your line of thinking.
Nope. You're being paid to call the plays and make the decisions based on the rules and not using over-simplified no-brainer guidelines.
As far as the big bucks is concerned - I wouldn't exactly call $50 - $60 the "big bucks".
You'll catch on to the jargon after you've been here awhile.
