Is this what they teach in PRO School?
I have not attended a PRO School.
My thread centers around the Antics of last nights PU (CB Bucknor) in the Yanks BOSOX game. Most if not all us have our own "called strike three mechanic" In addition when a player checks his swing and in our judgement he offered at the pitch I have been taught to simply point with the left hand, ring up the strike on the right hand and say "he offered" Until yesterday I have not seen a PU use the "hammer" the way CB Bucknor did on a check swing strile 3 Therefore, for those of you who did attend PRO School, do they teach these types of mechanics? For what it's worth I read somewhere or someone told me (can't remember offhand) that CB Bucknor is one of the least favorite umpires voted on by the players. In Summary; For those that saw last night's game what are your opinions? Pete Booth

2. Give verbal..."Yes, he did" or "He went" or... 3. Give strike signal Bucknor was clearly annoyed by the Sox' recent arguing of balls and strikes and was a bit more exuberant than usual on this third strike.

I have to say, this is probably the fourth time I've seen CB Bucknor at the plate this season. He really needs to take some time off and get his act together! He was never a great plate man but the last few outings have been terrible!

That said, I have to agree with Garth that he seemed sick of the whining from the BoSox bench. Also, he's been hired by MLB while I still only call JV football and baseball games.
