Which brings me to my point about illegal pitch, i would like some input back on this.
Is it because some umpires are affraid to call them?
They don't know what to look for: in that case they shouldn't be there.. ,
Same team "Montogmery" at Port Author vs LCM, The Houston crew calling illegal pitches, then i heard they were replaced by a San Antinio crew because of the illegal pitches that were called. So i went and watched the crew low and behold, no illegal pitches were called either day. Once again i was there she was illegal. "Affraid to call them"
Now they go to state and illegal pitches are called again.
So why are we as umpires not on the same page?

I'm curious, what was this pitchers offense?
What did you see?
How often did she do it?
