by the lack of preparation of some umpires for their national tournament. Why the HELL would you not brush up on your mechanics.....especially if you KNEW you would be working a 3-man system the entire tournament....the field is NOT the right place to finally ask for help.
It also AMAZES me that there is such a lack of basic knowledge of positioning for calls, etc....
I may be overgeneralizing....but I finally had to vent after last weekend.... JFC.....
and to top it off, one of my umpires was sent home from his national.... WHY do I do this?
