I have heard the same thing about the Wolf brothers. I think it was discussed on the MLB "ask the umpire" site. |

And irrespective of rotation, Jim does not work games behind the plate when Randy pitches. So your guess is wrong, and it's really not anything you need to guess about, because it's common knowledge that he doesn't. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Thu Aug 06, 2009 at 06:32pm. |

people either get it or they don't
Haller, Wolf, whatever....
The good officials call them as they are. They'd ring their own mother up on strikes. The bad ones couldn't umpire a bake sale. Simple as that. If you get it, that's great. If you don't, so be it. Hock9 |

Umped my son's game.
A few years ago at my son's game the umpire was a no-show. The parents on the my son's team and the opposing coach all knew I umpired and asked me to step up to the plate. I had my gear in my truck so I obliged. Game went well except when my son tried to score standing up on a play at the plate. I banged him out and he looked at me with huge eyes, "Dad!!".
The following year his team had another umpire no-show at a field about 4 blocks from our house. I didn't want to see them have to play without an umpire so when they asked me again I went home got my gear and called the game. Good close game and a smiling opposing coach shook my hand after the game. Then, last year, both coaches requested me for a make-up of one of my son's games on a Saturday at the end of the season. My only mistake in that game was when my son lined a shot between F7/F8 for a home run I started to jump up and cheer but caught myself before it looked like anything.

My dad umpired one of my games from behind the mound when the umpire didn't show. He punched me out on strikes once, and when he called strike 3 on this little kid on my team named Joey, Joey took umbrage, started crying and yelled at my dad (complete with finger signals), "F*** you, you're a jiddy ump!" That game was the end of my dad's umpiring days!
Remember it like it was yesterday.
