His strike mechanic drove me nuts though.....

Me too. I kept thinking he would knock himself out one of these days.

He called a couple of "doozies" strikes which were not even close, but it was a much better zone overall than that Japan/Mexico dude.

He did a previous game on the dish...I only remember because of his mechanics and how they bothered me the first game I saw him. I know ppl on here have said that Regional Final guys don't get the LLWS, but I could have swore that he did a Regional....if not I guess it was a pool round game that I saw him work...

Oh, and he definitely had some "doozies..."

PU had some unusual strike calls, but otherwise called a great zone overall.

Possible obstruction call at the plate.

I don't understand that 2 of the umpires who would have worked the final on Sunday were not there or Monday, they had to return to work. These are volunteers on supposedly grandest stage and they return to work. I doubt they were both brain surgeons, so I just don't get it.

I don't think umpiring any baseball game is worth losing your job over.

Man that Coach JM is making me reexamine the whole "rat" paradigm.

Okay, it's over - Can we put LL to bed now?
