It's that time of year...MLB, our leagues, the season is winding down, playoff teams locking up spots, rats who know they won't be back, etc. I guess I always find it comforting that as managers are flying out in my games in my leagues (not this summer I'm on the DL), I get reassured that this is all part of our great game when I get to see the same in MLB.
Seriously though, as I watch each one I do critical thinking. Forget the call, what did the umpire do right in the clip (walk away, listen, hands behind the back) or wrong (confrontational, disinterested, belligerent). We watch eject clips at the NCAA clinics; these are refreshers to my mind.
I agree with Kyle directly about new umpires; however new umpires can watch the video and learn from our wise and informed(??) critiques of the clip.
