Freix,

I am indeed an umpire. I umpire High School ball, as well as part time during my summer season.

Couple points......First, I would never "yell" at an umpire. Me being an umpire, I find it very disrectful to be yelled at while umpiring, so I would never yell at a umpire. That being said, I do however disagree at times. If an umpire is messing up a rule.......any rule, isn't it protestable. If a runner doesn't tag up on a fly ball, and they throw back to the bag the runner started on, and the umpire calls him safe because the umpire says "The runner doesn't have to tag up." Isn't that protestable? So if the umpire tells me that the pitcher "doesn't need to pause," isn't that then protestable as well. Most of the heckling came from the crowd in this situation and then I approached the umpire about the rule. Then I brought it up again and that is when I get yelled ay by the PU. Rules are rules. I don't understand why this is not protestable.
