Salute! I also would never and have never thrown a single call for any reason. I too have way too much respect for the game to do it. Period! ... It's easy to speak for oneself, but to speak for everyone and condemn them in one stroke is pretty risky. Rei should speak for himself. Last edited by L.A. Umpire Guy; Fri Sep 05, 2008 at 12:01am. |

LOL...you guys crack me up!
Only a bunch of guys on the internet will state they have never biased a call based on the game being a blowout! ![]() I have heard top level guys in NCAA and pro ball admit to it, but NOOOOOOOOOOO, not the members of officiating.com! |

![]() Yeah, I've actually seen a pro ump in spring training call a guy out that was 4 steps past the base on a routine infield single. It was in extra innings in Yuma in 110 degree heat. Despite the heat, I thought it was still bush league when I saw it, and I wasn't even an umpire yet. If teams don't want to play anymore, they can tell me to stop the game, and I'll gladly oblige. But I will not make ridiculous looking calls and call my integrity into question. Now, you can say that you do this crap all the time, I don't care. But don't speak for the rest of us and presume to think you know us better than we know ourselves. Continue to speak for yourself, and stop calling us liars.

I suppose that we'll all have to reconsider our stand on the question of shaving calls on the bases when there's a blow-out. Would you do it at 9-1? 20-1? 50-1?
Reminds me of the old story about Lord Beaverbrook. At a dinner party, he found himself seated next to a beautiful young lady (he himself was, of course, none of those things). He turned to her and ask, "Young lady, would you sleep with me for a million pounds?" She responded, "Well, I suppose I would for a million!" To which Beaverbrook replied, "I see. Would you sleep with me for 10 pounds?" The young lady flushed with rage, and declared, "Lord Beaverbrook, what do you take me for?" Beaverbrook eyed her calmly and said: "My dear, I believe we've already established that. Now we're merely haggling over price."

![]() I'm not condoning either situation should mean one should 'shave a call'. However, a 6-1 (and 9-1 later on) game is still close in most high school baseball contests. If an umpire chooses to lower himself to incorrectly call a play s/he knows to be false, then so be it. However, it shouldn't affect the overall outcome of the game. -Josh |
