Business as usual...

WWTB,

Here you go again. This is the problem with you. You quoted me, but you only took the part you wanted to quote. I stated that I wasn't there and that I needed to be there to speak about the umpiring. On the contrary to what you said, I have had several bench clearers. I have been in the middle of it. I have seen some coming, and others have jumped up on me. What I said is that never before have I ever seen benches clear twice in one inning and no warnings issued. Get a clue. Warning should have been issued, plain and simple. Then they decide to eject two players from one team. Hello, they were pushing and shoving each other. They may have got every pitch right in this situation and may have nailed every play on the bases. But as for this..."non routine"...situation, this was poor umpiring at best. They screwed this up.

You try to argue that AMLU guys are inexperienced. We heard you the first time. But here is a different view. AA guys are not inexperienced. This was a AA game. These umpires, no matter how long they have been umpiring High School and College, are not prepared to work before 8,000 in AA. Even D1 guys admit that every D1 umpire cannot walk onto a AA or AAA field without problems. If this was the Appy League or the NYP League then maybe you have a point. But AA guys are not inexperienced. They are TRAINED. But then again, even with the AMLU guys you see this all the time. Except for the part about the farm director coming on the field and the manager forfeiting the game. But now you can go and cut out my post here and use the part you want...that being where I said even with the AMLU guys you see this all the time. But this time, don't forget about the end of that statement.
