As a result, they are very impressionable, and in MOST cases look to the umpire as a role model. Yeah, being under pressure isn't the easiest thing in the world...but there are ALWAYS ways to deal with it professionally. Taking the "#$@# them" approach, as you described is NOT one of them.
A Manual does NOT have to tell you that. Yes, you are the general on the field...but it is your soldiers(the kids) that look to you for guidance and direction.
and another thing...i have gotten feedback from people, and thats more important then what your manual would say, though I do not say it is insignificant. Actions speak louder than words my friend.
And about your rudeness to jicecone, he's tellin your how it is. 6 games a day doesn't mean anything. I do 6 games on a regular basis. And time is not my concern. Quality ball is. So yeah, you may do the "regional" games...and such...but atleast act like you deserve to.
jmho!

"Deserve to", why should I not? There is 1 minute and/or 8 pitches to allow warm up.I also have changes to record and baseballs to put back in my bags(that is also discussed at meeting)PLUS, we had a time limit(sucks, BIG_TIME) This is not "baby-ball" now, PONY wants things done thier way, just doing what is expected......
