He might not've been the worst I've seen at LLWS
BUT, if you held a roll call of the "LLWS cream of the crap", I think he'd make my top 10.
He pretty much hid behind the catcher the whole game. He was moving around before the pitch arrived. He called every pitch before it even reached the batter. He called every swinging strike (which even our local league umpires know not to do). He called several balls down the line "foul", before they ever passed 1B or 3B. Not once, but twice he went to BU3 (who was PU for the TX-WA game) for "help" on a foul ball call. The first one (which he should've been able to call on his own) appeared to be foul, but the second one sure appeared to catch nothing but the catcher's mitt, then PU's left wrist, after the batter swung and missed it. He sounded like a doofus, "It hit me on my wrist; It must've been foul." He really crawled in the catcher's back pocket after that shot.
If he shows up on the plate for anymore games, Andy Konyar and Steven Keener, weren't paying attention..........
