LLWS Umpires (Oregon vs Georgia)

[ChucktownBlue]

I agree with basically everything you said.. it would be good to work together prior. But since LL uses no rotations with 6-man, there should be no issues. The ones you mentioned aren't issues, they're simple. I can't for, for the life of me, figure out why LL has U2 coming in on all fly balls. The coverage is simple, but he's the closest one to those shots to CF. Perhaps LL just doesn't trust the rotations??

You're also right about the coaches. I'm not sure how they do it, besides being afraid of being banned. There was one I saw in Regionals that should have been gone. Don't remember which game, but a run scored on a swinging past ball and the runner was a little shaken up. R1 advanced to third from first. D coach was arguing someone called time for the hurt player so runner has to return. Didn't happen. Next inning, coach asks for time from UP (in the middle of an inning) and runs from umpire to umpire asking them if they called time earlier. UGLY!
