I work any game that I can. And some times those include machine pitch games. I have said in recent posts, I am there for the money. $30-$45 for youth leagues is pretty damn good, so you can tell me how I am not a 'real' umpire, but when you say that I will just be counting the 6 or 7 thousand dollars I make in a summer.

$45 for working machine pitch baseball doesn't make you an umpire; it makes you a thief.

I lived in New Orleans for a year and they insisted on 2-man for machine pitch -- one umpire to load the machine, the other to call plays at first and second.

These were freaking brutal games to "work."

The New Balance plate shoes are the best I've owned. My +POS shoes lasted forever, but wearing them was like having a brick formed around your foot.

I'll bet you wore a mask when you picked up your check.

They play this at a batting cage, or what?

Is it little kids' ball?

After some of the HS ptiching I've seen in the last couple of years, is FED thinking about allowing a team to put a Jugs machine on the mound for some games?

At least he's honest about his avarice, its almost preferable to some of the 'its for the kidz' treacle we see so often.

I have no problem with people umpiring for the money. Its people who think that getting money makes them an umpire that I find strange.
