If Jake (the Snake) Roberts isn't in this video, it's not nearly complete.

Kyle wants us (in Ohio) to use the FED manual. His view is: get 100 umpires together and you'll have 100 ways to work. Getting on the same page means picking an arbitrary page. His page is the FED manual. :shrug:

The "time" signal in that chart makes it look like the umpire has a gun in his back.

Well,
 

I am sure you all remember Oregon does not use FED mechanics. We use modifified CCA.

The illustrations of signals were produced by Referee Magazine.

Official NFHS Baseball Signals


That is what it says at the top of the chart, NO?

Big John
 

I am simply making a statement.

I don't have my official OSAA/OAOA umpire manual with me.

I don't know of any umpire in Oregon that uses the DDB signal.

Please go back to misinterpreting the rulebook and incorrectly connecting rules that don't belong together on the football page.

Wouldn't be the first dumb thing Kyle has done. Since FED does not have a national play-off mechanism or the demand to work with FED umpires from other states, having them all on the same page state by state is enough.

I feel your pain, though.

Why beat up on me? All I did was post the chart and point out that is fed chart.

And not listen to what you're being told.

I asked a question. Just wanted to know if those were or weren't the NFHS official signals?

Sheesh!

Your attempt to show us how much you know about baseball was once again trumped by your total lack of knowledge.

If you really understood anything about officiating, (name the sport) you'd know that the states do not adhere 100% to the FED manual.

Ohio's "Gold Book" for football is a perfect example of this.

Sometimes a question is just a question. However, sir, your reputation precedes you, and you don't ask questions that are just questions - you are always going somewhere with them, and where you go is not conducive to helping anyone learn how to do this job. I'm sorry if you don't like that... but you made this bed, and now you must lie in it. You cannot be offended if your previous actions color the way your future "questions" are taken.
