Uniforms
 
I've seen two Texas League games with two different crews. The first crew had adjustable hats. Some shirts with numbers, some without. Tonights crew had the hats as seen in the photo, except for the plate umpire who wore a fitted blank navy hat.

I can't wait until this mess is over. I look forward to being able to look up to the mechanics and style of the AA guys. I definitely have chosen a side on this issue but I'll refrain from discussing it here as it's not constructive.

If The Shoe Fits
 
If one wants to be a SCAB, they might as well dress down to play the role. We all know how nasty a scab looks. All runny and puss filled. Just like those bloated toads that think they're doing the "right thing". :mad:

It's pus filled, puss. You're gross. Welcome to my ignore list.

Hey Steve! We need to work a game together sometime! Do ya think that we might get the coaches attention @ the plate meeting while they are standing there feeling dwarfed? :D

We would certainly keep the field from flying away!

Just a question. Why would you tell someone they were on your ignore list. Wouldn't you just ignore them and not address them any further?


It seems that is a trend on this board. Ironically it usually involves 2 or more guys who are only talking to each other back and forth and telling each other that they are going to ignore the others. ???????????????

I would put PWL on my ignore list were it not for the comic relief I get from reading his posts.

Ignore(nt) Comments
 
If your going to ignore someone, then I expect you to do it immediately. I don't expect you to trade barbs with the ignore(nt) one for a week, month, year.

I rather you trade barbs because I find some of these comments can be funny.

Photo Replay
 
After further review, I think that crew looks rather spiffy.

I can respect the UIC, he definitely has a shine on.

The guy on the end will probably work 1B after he stops gawking at the beautiful field condition.

Just another game for the guy in the middle who will probably work 3B. I can only guess that this isn't his first trip. He didn't bother to get a haircut for the photo OP at home plate or to impress the players. I bet he'll beat the other two back to the car after the game.

2nd Photo
 
KUDOS for taking the time to consider how well he looks in any uniform. I think he looks sharp because it appears that everything he is wearing is brand new. Perhaps, if he takes as much pride in his mechanics and calls as he does in his clothing, he will do an exceptional or outstanding job in just about every game. I bet the rest of his equipment is top of the line and brand new too. ;)

I would hate to take out a brand NEW black marker to cover that white N unless I knew my shoes fit. Perhaps after the game, I would have a better idea about fit and I would black N if I knew my new shoes FIT comfortably. :cool:

Gracious. Someone want to teach this guy how to buy a well-fitting uniform?

I'd like to know a little bit more about this pic? Did you actually take it? What ballpark, team, & date?

I got a rundown on most of the umps working TL & this guy sure isn't on my list.

Scott:

This is a photo I found on the AMLU web-site. I have no idea who the members of the crew are, or what league they're working in. Sorry, Nick, but I think it's ridiculous for an umpire who feels he's good enough to work MiLB games to use forearm pads. If he's that much of a puss than he should stick to kiddy ball!
