Because by some umpires including ones on this forum, they are. Some officials approach is combative (because they are insecure imo), some consider coaches sub-human ("rats" - just another form of insecurity imo). Consequently, every coach they encounter is treated the same either as a combatant or a rat.

To discuss officiating, Thumper. You could help me out with this. What's your take on why this PU got thumped?

Also common in this thread is their habit of seizing on an umpire they perceived to be picked on, usually one who is a bit naive, (remember Canadianump 6?) and then defending him to the hilt. Then there's the trademarrk overuse of the Big Grin smilie when ever he thinks he's being clever.

Check the archives.

Eventually their meanspiritedess gets the better of the and they become downright vicious. We've lost some good posters because of those two.

I figured they all came from the same bag of crazy.

Indeed we have. I miss reading Garth's posts on here.

Mr. Umpire and Welp, don't you think your conversation would be best as PMs instead of cluttering up the officiating discussions with off topic ramblings, accusations and general BS? :confused:

Of course I can help with this since it happened to me and you, apparently, know about it.

Four things happened as a result that didn't happen in the video:

(1) - (3) I ejected the catcher, pitcher, and manager, and
(4) I forfeited the game when the manager wouldn't leave.

People that would intentionally throw at an umpire -- calling them rats would be an insult to rats.

This happened 3 years ago. I've moved on. So has the sorry excuse of a league.

A resurrected toll of time gone by! Either that or you are a total jack a$$ for posing that incident to Rich!

My money is on both!

Gentlemen...Don't forget the ignore feature.

I haven't had to use the ignore feature in a long, long time. So I found it funny when I went to add STB to the ignore list, I found Fitump56 was already there. I also had Poosey and Canadianump 6 on the ignore list.

IMHO the coach was one of those that just likes to bark and hear himself talk, during the game he was on the far end of the dugout on his phone. The conduct of his players reflected on him. At the end of the day the game got settled between the lines, the opposing team being down 6-2, came back and won 14-6 behind 5 homeruns.

From this description, I'd take the coach at his word that he was frustrated and barking at his catcher, not you.

In this case, I say nothing or wait until the inning is over.

Thanks Former Ump, I wasn't aware. It will make this place so much more enjoyable. :)

Know specifically, no, it isn't like it isn't hinted at in several other forums. So what's your take on this PU being thumped? Accidental or purposeful?

I've never been the victim of an intentional thumping.
