I know this year NCAA allowed umps to use various stances and have already seen a D1 guy doing the scissor stance. Now this guy.
Hopefully ASA follows NCAA's lead and opens up a little.
It is an atrocious mechanic, especially on TV, ..
Pitch..
silence (cant hear the umpire, all I can hear is friggin dugout chanting)
more silence
more silence (me yelling at tv: hey wtf was the call blue?)
stands up, hammer (oh it was a strike! about #$%'n time)

I did the same thing!!!! he called it like it was baseball(no offense to baseball but softball is different) He saw the pitch came up singnal and call at the same time. Rediculous!!!! ps he looked like crap behind the plate... uniform ZONE, and everything else.
