Its how they adjust when thrown in the mix with players of the same talent or better. I am no better a man than any other poster here.

Originally, you were asserting that when an umpire works high school or below, he would not have the skills or experience to handle difficult situations or rulings.
(And that lone phenom thing you experience in Florida is not the case here. In fact, I watched that No. 2 in the nation Jupiter, Fla. team get carved up because the team with those two pitchers I described had big hitters one through nine.)
