Why not another? 9U play

[jwwashburn]

GA, after a weekend with these guys(and they were ALL rejects from the bike assembly at Toys R US) I made ONE little flippant remark.

Do I regret the remark...only in the mildest sense of the word. Like I said before, I probably should not have said it.

What amazes me is the depth that some people here go to denigrate all coaches and excuse all umpires. It is insane.

Thanks for your comment.

All of this over...9U baseball.

Exactly. It's enough to make your head spin.

I would merely ask that you consider removing it before we get another lecture from the group on the far right. As far as I know I am right in asking you to remove this offending material before they join in the discussion.

No need to record this post either. I will delete this post in a few hours.

Isn't interesting that the words F***ing and Christ together as a phrase is less offensive to some people than my little quip to Cell Phone McGhee. We are living in the Twilight Zone.

[GA Umpire]

I am not excusing or blaming anyone for anything. Umpires should know the rules or make a valiant effort to learn them. They should not listen to coaches ever about the rules. They talk to their partners for that if they need help.

As for coaches, they are not to blame for umpires' ignorance of the rules. Umpires take that blame. But, coaches should not be upset if they are contributing to the ignorance. That is all I am saying.

Also, is it necessary to try to belittle the umpires? They are not able to defend themselves. Especially, if they know nothing about being talked about. And, why do so many of the posters feel it necessary to refer to younger umpires as (insert any name you have called young umpires) just b/c they didn't like their attitude. Others are guilty of this as well.
