Riddle me this, Caped Crusader:

Why are they prohibited from posting on this forum, but not prohibited from posting on Hunter Wendelstedt's forum?

The prohibition applies to all sites. Bobbybanaduck surmises that some of them haven't read the fine print of their contracts.

Other than that, I have no idea.

Question Why?
Make it 6 Garth. I find it ridiculous for someone to portray themselves as someone who works at a level they do not. By being arrogant towards others does not make you look better either. Just be yourself and move on.

Are there major league guys posting on Hunter's forum, who are bound by a different contract? We've all heard the MiLB guys aren't allowed to post, but does MLB make its umpires play by the same rules?

Hunter is the only MLB umpire I have seen on the forum. The other pros are minor league instructors and umpires.

I stopped posting there when some guy came on and flooded every thread with TWPs. I became too much for me. Perhaps I'll go back and check and see if it's still the same.
