On the mound?

[Saltydog]

Cal Ripken League; In our Minors league we use HS players as umps, however, in our Majors we use 'real umps'. One of the 'real umps' calls the game from the mound. Granted, there is only one ump per game and maybe he feels he has a better field of view there, but I was just interested in your opinions. As an 'oh by the way', he is not the favorite ump because of bad calls at the plate, esp top and bottom of the zone.
