My friend works HS varsity and 3 college conferences.
So, of course, LL puts him on the foul line. Great use of resources.

The bashing of the umpires has grown tiresome. I saw 2 outstanding plate guys work last night. Not sure I could've done any better. I saw some good work on the bases, too.
Not everyingthing is bashing. Good plate work last night was mentioned. However, there is still, overall, IMO, a decline in quality from last year. Sometimes it is extremely noticeable.

If the comments are annoying you, you can always use the approach Ives recommends, change the channel or find the off button.
