Fair or Foul?

[RPatrino]

Guys, if this was a 60' Little League game then in most cases U1 from A would not call fair/foul, but pivot into the infield, unless of course this was discussed in the pre-game. I've found that in working with younger umpires, its easier to just have the PU take all fair/foul on the little field.

FYI, what is R12?

I don't know...if you F-up and call it foul...eat it and suck it up you kicked one...if you call foul, it's foul...don't have the books here this week...but even if the catcher hears you...you know he'll tell his coach that he heard you say foul...these kids are young umpires...probably little or no training...instead of cutting the kids down...help them out so that they still want to umpire...so many young kids could become great umpires and they have one bad experience when they're younger and they hang it up...at that age...everybody on the field at that age is there to learn the game of baseball and to have fun period.
