3 years interested in umpiring and 2 friggin years on the field and you've never had a tag up on a caught fly ball? Never seen it on TV even Baseball or when you played little league?
Out of curiosity - what age/league ball do you umpire? If its 8U coaches pitch, it may be routine in your league to send the player back, so there could be some kind of reason you did what you did.. and a reason the coaches didnt go ballistic.
I'm being nice now! This is just unbelievable and I am curious.
First off, I never mentioned nor is there any mention in this thread of a question regarding a tag up on a fly ball. I am not sure where that is coming from, but can we stay on subject in a single thread?
Secondly, I am sorry but you are being rude and this kind of response is exactly what Scott is talking about. If there is a requirement that you must have 10 years experience umpiring before viewing this board, then state it. Other wise, take your premadona attitude to another board and let those of use interested in learning stay on this one.
Thirdly, I have umpired 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. I have made bad calls and I have made very good calls. I spend time on this forum trying to reduce the number of bad calls, why do you spend time on it?
Lastly, I have seen seasoned umpires blow calls in large sanctioned tournaments by calling the Infield Fly Rule with no one on 1st. So, I know everyone regardless of experience make mistakes, but some of us want to help the rest of use improve, even if we are teaching a 10 year old who happens to leave a message on this board.
If you don't want to be a teacher and don't want to be a student, then I suggest you find another board.
To use your words, "This is just unbelievable"
