New Music from Joe West

I wouldn't want to hear him sing either.

From henceforth your new name is:

And by the way, once you start umpiring at a level where the players are old enough and big enough to actually hit homeruns...you will see that even the best can miss a foul/homerun call.

I really don't care about the accuracy of calls, but more about mechanics and hustle. You've got to look good at what you're doing. That's why we shine our shoes and iron our pants. Joe's new garden gnome plate stance, along with slothlike footwork makes us look bad. These guys are at the top of the sport, and should be a reflection of how it's supposed to be done. Now it's looking more and more like Little League Worlds series umpires, getting the big spot for many, many, MANY years of community service.

Kyle,

That's a rather interesting perspective for an umpire.

Do you have many ejections at your games?
