CSF - VA That was a balk

umpjong · #1 (**permalink**) Wed Jun 17, 2009, 10:29am

So no one here has ever missed a call? (not that I am saying they missed it - I didnt see it) Do I smell the ugly jealousy germ? Why do we feel the need to bash our peers just because they are working the highest level? If they or anyone else miss a call, and its on video, learn from it. It makes us all better, including them. They critique each other after every game and eventually get to go over all of their video.

so far this thread seems to be discussing the play, not the quality of the umpiring.

I didn't read of anyone bashing anybody. Where are you seeing this supposed "bashing?"

Hey, if I blow a call, I get to hear all about it. And I don't think jealousy has anything at all to do with it. That's quite a stretch.

I could be wrong, but the first couple of posts seemed to demean the umpires in the game. If not I apologize for my assumption.....

No jealousy here....the boys did a real nice job...but they painted themselves in a corner by not getting the balk early...
