LL uses volunteer umpires. I'm not saying volunteers can't be as good as paid folks, but they usually aren't. As long as they continue with this policy, I feel they are often giving their players inferior officiating. They seem to be happy with that.
Our local LL pays during the season but post season is only volunteers. The best of our crews don't assist during post season. They seem to be happy with that.
Illegal pitches don't get called. Players, coaches, fans and TV commentators don't even see a problems. Everybody's happy and life goes on.
