I observed an umpire this weekend that gave a big, double-pumping safe signal on EVERY uncaught fly ball hit to the outfield, even if no fielder was within 50 feet of the ball.
Where do guys come up with this stuff? Do they ever attend any training? Does their association ever evaluate them in games?
This was just one in a long line of goofy mechanics I've seen lately. Maybe that would be a good topic for another thread...
