My guess is that some of you have ever had a side arm style pitcher on the mound. If you did, you would know that the fastball CAN and DOES rise. You would also be aware that a curve ball thrown by a good side armer will act an awful lot like a screwball.


Rut, When you are considered knowledgeable in any sport, give me a call. Wait, I forgot, you once were invited to instruct rookies at an umpire clinic. Wow, so was BigDump. You guys should write abook about your extensive knowledge of the game - call it "ChUMPS that Know Everything about Everything". Even one of your assignors told you to shut up. We know...we know, you have the right to say what you want. Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, Rosa Parks, strong black man, vindication baby, it's basketball/football season and I really don't care about baseball...ROTFLMAO and it seems so are others. I tried to stay away but you just make it so darn easy.

Dodging a 250 pound player or getting hit by a 90 mph baseball...hmmmmmmm, why is it that the slow, fat guy always is the football umpire? I guess he must have the reflexes of a cat. Even on the football site they laugh at you.
