Double Picket Fence
My team ran that play on a sure double. Second and short went out on relay. Everyone else had a task to do.
"He's not a scab because he only works part-time." This thing about AMLU guys filling in to work games for whatever reason this year because it was okay to do last year STRIKES. What is the lawyer thinking, "Let us plug the leaks and hope the BIG ship will sink faster, and eventually sinks deeper too." Someone better start asking some good questions because I don't think everyone is on the same page here. |

I must have missed a memo. When exactly did you specifically cite your source? Another day in the books and still no call for the AMLU guys to save the day.

You offered no proof as to your opinion. I cited two current instructors from a professional school and someone in Fitz's immediate entourage (it is not that big, so if you can't figure it out that says much about you). You contend that no recent graduates of either professional school are working as replacement umpires and I said otherwise. The box scores prove you wrong, Mr. Wizard. A past student of mine went to pro school three years ago and this past year. He graduated and was offered games. He has worked at least six games that I'm aware of thus far. Hmmmmm...
I think we all know what you are...but once it becomes 0s and 1s, Bob and Mick will delete the post. (Snicker, giggle, chuckle)

MiLB has ordered that umpire names are not announced or released. I don't have the link handy, but this comes directly from an MiLB interview/press release. If any names are released it would be by request of the specific umpire. |

Actually, I agree with SoCal1, to a point...the league will not disperse the names of replacement umpires unless they receive express permission. Many umpires don't feel the pressure that is imagined by so many here. They have no qualms about working. If you want to know some of the names, the AMLU boys have no issue publishing them either. Apparently they are immune to the etiquette they wish afforded them. Whatever happened to, 'Brothers in umpiring don't bash each other.'? Respect must be earned by the AMLU gang and they aren't chalking up too many points with the locals. Those guys pay them to come to their winter clinics. They also used to work some Fall ball with them.

Well my opinion doesn't mean much, but I have been around this board long enough to know WWTB and his posts. He has a history here that makes me think he knows what he says he knows.
You came on the seen just recently and have no history. I'd believe him over you in a heart beat. And besides that, I haven't seen you name anyone either??? Only reputation at this point.... Quote:

That makes no sense. Your arguement here is idiotic at best. I don't have to prove my sources, I am my source. wwtb isn't in the game, and doesn't really know what the hell is going on.

1. NO 2006 PBUC graduate has been offered a job, becasue there are none. 2. Those finishing PBUC were told only where on 'the list' they were & advised of the potential opportunity of a job. 3. If this student simply completed the 5 week course, so what? He's now a well trained (If he paid attention & showed up that is. If he suffered a 'spider bite' then your post means less than zero, because that's what this individual's potential is) umpire ready to learn his/her craft. Of course this is only my opinion. |

Two for the price of one:

My sources have been utilized here for quite some time. They keep proving me right. Unlike you, I actually worked the games that are in question. I earned the right to say what I want about the current regime. That's far more than you can say. Quote:
2.) Read #1 3.) Earlier arguments from the AMLU support group (sounds like a twelve step program) cited that if a 'scab' wanted the right to work in the Minors, he should have paid the money for pro school and been asked to work. Hmmmm... Of course, you must be omniscient to be able to judge an umpire's talent and potential, sight unseen. I'm curious, how does one get that job? Did you have to go to pro school? The hole just keeps getting deeper for those thinking like you. The replacements are working out just fine and by the middle of May some top flight D1 umpires will be available for work in the AAA. The AMLU boys made a serious error and are scrambling to target those who are doing just fine. The photos and names on their site are proof of how low they'll stoop. I recall an email that demnaded that as brothers in umpiring we need to support each other. They refused those assignments and now trash the reputations of those that remember their role in the game...nice! Of course, that is only my opinion.

Hey Jiggy, it's like this. You just got here and have no reputation. WWTB has been here for along time and IMHO has a reputation for giving accurate information about the game. (Pi$$ing contests with Rut excluded, I won't even go there). I'd be much more likely to believe him and very unlikely, considering your short stay here and the quality of your posts, to believe you at all. And I am betting I am not alone in that assessment.
If you are asking WWTB to prove his sources then do the same. You are not producing the information, so you can't be your own source. That kind of thinking truely is idiotic. You are getting your "information" some where from some one. What's your source??? I bet you dimes for dollars you'll post some innane crap and still won't give a source.... Name a source and prove me wrong. Otherwise your just talking shi..... Quote:
