In this state, coaches rate umpires on the following criteria:
10% Appearance/Physical 10% Pre-Game 20% Attitude/Temperament 20% Rules Knowledge 20% Mechanics 20% Game/Field Presence What is Pre-Game, you ask? According to the Arbiter, it includes being "On time for pre-game conference. On time (Enters playing area at appropriate time). Performs all assigned duties: inspections." And miraculously, I have been marked down in this area. How is that even possible? We are also expected to rate our partners after each game, a practice I find equally distasteful and which I refuse to do. It seems ridiculous for a rookie to be rating someone who has been doing it for 20 years. (Of course, there are those Smitties who have one year experience twenty times, but ratings would be wasted on them anyway.) Shouldn't these conversations happen in the post-game? It would be interesting to come up with a system for rating coaches: 20% Attitude 20% Sportsmanship 20% Pulled the pitcher before giving up a grand slam 20% Chose a shortstop who could field a ball cleanly 20% Selected a line-up of players who swing at corner pitches Have I missed anything? |
