You can't talk to the batter!

Dude,

If you don't mind, I will share some of my limited experience with you. I was able to work college games by my fourth year as an umpire. People thought I did a good job too. This was great for my ego, but the truth is I wasn't totally ready for it. We are all anxious or hungry to move up in the levels but need to be prepared. I suggest perhaps working more at the FED/Legion level to gain more experience (the pitching is a heck of a lot better than Little League) Try to hook up with an experienced and respected umpire who can mentor you.

I've been following your posts and I think you can gain more respect if you follow the advice of others here who have told you to stop with the firing back at every comment. It simply isn't needed.
