Is that intentional only or does it include unintentional too? Seems a little harsh to me for incidental contact. I can see where it would come in to effect if there was contact with the intent to cause harm to the official. Just my $.02.

Bottom of 5th: Home 9 - Visitors 0

Visitors make their first pitching change. Put in a kid that was throwing really slow / off-speed curves & junk. These pitches were ugly, but many of them were very fat strikes. I rung up one batter on a curve, a second went down swinging, and the third fly's out. I could tell the home team was getting pissy, because they didn't get that 10th run to make it a slaughter, and end the game early.


There is many things going on here so i will ddress them one at a time.

1. You say the pitches were ugly but were fat strikes. Not sure what you mean. In any event, you are in the bottom of 5 sounds like the game is ugly so do what you can to get that 10th run and go home. it's apparent from what you describe that the VT was not going to score anywhere near 10 runs.

2. The aforementioned does excuse the behavior that ensued. The one thing I find today that was NOT present when I played, is "What's the score" When we were up by 9 runs or more with only 2 innings left we swung the bats. get the game over with. in fact we wanted the PU to open up the zone to get the game over with.

3. IMO, your partner's behavior is the BIGGEST issue in the thread. In HS after umpiring for 2 yrs or more, we get to know the coaches, however, we BOTH enter the field together and check the equipment and we BOTH leave the field together. I would have a conversation with this partner first and find out what his story was and then contact the assignor and tell hime what happened.

SUMMARY: In the future, whenever you can get the mercy rule - get it and go home. Carry a cell phone etc. and as soon as someone bumps you - Do not be Mr. Nice-guy call the police and have him arrested.

NOTE: We are now instructed even in Summer ball that whenever a caoch/assitant coach or player bumps you to call the police. As mentioned no more Mr. Nice guy. it's time to put an end to such nonsense. the team is up by 9 runs and the assistant is going ballistic tells you all you need to know about this individual.

Nick's story didn't surprise me at all.
