Maybe they're right.



You are making an assumption. They may be referring to the inability of the players to play at a quality level beyond seven innings.



No, we are getting paid to arbitrate the game. There is a difference.



I believe this may be the first time I agreed with you. It would indeed be ludicrous if that was the reason for the claim. But, it is not.
I did put forth my best effort in writing a sentence. Even if I didn't, who cares it's only a sentence and not as big a deal as my ballgames. Maybe they are right, maybe this league should go seven innings, but it sure as hell is not up to the umpires to go to the league president and ask that games be shortened. Just don't umpire the games in my league cause I don't have any patience with people like that. And what is the difference between coming out to officiate a game, and coming out to serve the players and coaches? When I say serving the players and coaches, that means making the right calls, regardless of which team they go against. As for PWL, people ought to take their shots at him when he is present to defend himself.
