Short video
I was cleaning up the website and found these. They're 3 years old, now.
I know, I know, I run like a dork and would never be confused with a real umpire. Rich plate Rich plate 2 --Rich Last edited by Rich; Sat Nov 17, 2007 at 10:14am. |

It's hard to look like a gazelle running in shin guards and plate shoes.
![]() I take it that your partner went out on a ball down the line in Video 1? You hustle, and that's what counts.

I have QuickTime 7.3 and I just watched a differnt clip on it, so it is working. But for some reason, it appears whenever I click on your link I get a question box asking if I want to download Quicktime....oh, well.

The movies are hosted on my own site (actually the only files up there right now). You could right click and save the file and then open them in QT if you want to see them. It's not really worth it, though. |

After some tinkering, I got to see the clips.
1. You look good and trim, to the point that your plate coat looks big on you. 2. My wife said your legs looked short, but I explained that as long as they reach the ground it's okay. 3. You drop in your stance a bit late for what's accepted around here. Stance height looks good, though. 4. Great hustle on getting back to the plate. I hate to see umpires who hustled during the play leisurely stroll back to home after the play. 5. Two man at the college level?

Haha yes you do! Alas, that's the only thing i found wrong with your vids. Good plate work! You just look way too stiff when you run. You run like i run when i'm holding in a #2 and i'm hustling to the john. ![]() But as you would know, it's better to hustle and look bad than to not hustle at all. Nice work Rich! |

My wife, not an umpire, told me before I watched the video that she thought I was "coming down" too late. She's seen me umpire so much, she's become a pretty credible evaluator. I'm ready to skip basketball season, have it be spring, and start up with baseball. |

Yep,
Garth noted:
"5. Two man at the college level?" We service 42 colleges in the Pacific Northwest. 40 of them use 2 man crews. Only Oregon State and the University of Portland (our only D-1 schools with baseball as of the moment) use 3 man. Only at playoff level baseball do any of our other 40 colleges go to 3 man.
