Get it Right --- The 1st Time!

Interesting how many of you totally lost the idea. I am using the video to show what not to do. I am not going to say if my MLB brother was incorrect in his mechanics, that's not my job. What I am saying here is at our level, we must move with the play to make this call. If this was done, the call would probably have been the correct one, the 1st time! I am trying to impress on us all, the need to be in position and make the correct call, the 1st time! And yes, I seriously think that amateur mechanics have slipped drasticaly since the era of "umpiring by board meeting".

I do not think amateur alone, but pro. I think people umpire to with the expectation to be saved from making a mistake instead of hustling or using good mechanics to get the call right.
