Im sure that there are tons and tons of good ASA umps out there, just usually not the ones doing games I play in. maybe the good umps here do fast pitch???

Maybe you need to realize that although it's annoying, recreational league games are usually where most umps get their start.
Maybe the first word in that phrase escapes you: "recreational."
You're not going to find all rec league umps at the same level. Some call Nationals, most don't. Give me a break, it's rec league.
While it should be the goal of every umpire to be perfect the first game and to improve every game thereafter, the reality is that we're all human. We make mistakes. We're NOT perfect.
Don't expect local rec league umpires to be any different.
