This is the one that's driving me crazy this year in rec ball. The field umpires I'm working with are high school kids, and they continually go back to the "A" with a runner on third. I tell them I want them in the "C", but there response is always every other plate umpire they work with (all unlicensed friends of the head of the local association) wants them back in the "A", and they will make the calls at third. I have seen this same "mechanic" used in other rec leagues.
