Treatment of female umpire in Minor Leagues

[RPatrino]

Other then the manager ragged on over 2 minutes, unacceptable!!

This is professional baseball and this is how it works.

Did not look like he had much to say to me, just stood there and took the BS.

Well I think that's cause he (the umpire) is in control of his emotions. And is allowing the manager to look like an a$$ will he's still able to get his shots in without looking aggressive... Don't get me wrong I wasn't there so I could be way off on this one. You may be 100% right on this one.

Without ever working with Ria, I can only say she has made it farther than MOST on this board. In looking at the video, I felt either her or the HP umpire could have positioned themselves closer earlier. However, when she did get into positon to "rodeo the coach away", U1 walked the opposite direction taking the coach away from her. She did take him away eventually. Who knows if U1 wanted to get "his piece" or if the crew had a set signal when they had had enough. Regardless, we all shouldn't be judging another umpire without EVER working with that individual.

Your right man. Well put.

I agree about Ria making it really far in baseball and that we shouldn't judge her. It seems like the situation in this video was not handled well. There might have been signals going on though, so we can't know for sure. To spectators though, I think it would appear like a situation that got out of hand. I think the stuff minor league umpires said about Ria was slander.
