Well, you just as well open the window and jump out. See if you can catch your credibility on the way down.
Come on, lighten up a bit. Just a little needling, following where someone else inferred that some games need more attention to strict interpretation than others. It's kind of a joke, as intended.
Actually, I glided right over the comment until that trouble-maker Tom sounded the alarm
I certainly hope you are not one of these umpires who believe slowpitch SOFTBALL is just a lazy, beer-bellied man's game. ... snip ...
Another tease, but the games are different.
I don't believe there is that much of a different once you leave the pitching differences
... snip ... slowpitch discipline of SOFTBALL. Why, you ask? Because that is where the action is! There is absolutely no disputing that there is more action in the SP discipline of SOFTBALL than FP.
Depends on your definition of action.
To me, action is runner's running, fielder's fielding constantly throughout the game. FP has become too much a pitcher's game (in my opinion).
I have even played a SP game that was a no-hitter for 6 2/3 innings and that was far from as boring as a pitching duel.
in my games, if the player is out, they're called out. If not, they are called safe. Those are the only options.
Yeah, me too, but see above.
That's a good thing.
