not sure who was playing but my brother told me there was a runner on 1st, the ball went to the outfield on a hard ground ball, so the 2B umpire was going inside the diamond and with his back turned (while running) missed the force at second. my brother said the replays showed the kid was out by 5-6 feet but the umpire said he was safe. anyone see that, and how the hell does that happen?

I saw it and it was a HORRIBLE call. I thinkt he problem there was the umpire doing it was flat out of shape. He was a really big guy and seemed to have a hard time getting in position in time to make the correct call. His back was turned and the kid was out by a good 5 feet. It did end up costing the team a run. And what made it worse was replays showed that U1 was all over the call also and easily could of helped the U2.

I have to agree with Garth...these umpires I've seen have been pretty bad. Forgot which game it was but it was a regional and the strike zone with the PU was horrid! He rang up three kids on pitches 1 foot outside.

I also have to agree that they are not ready to be there and shouldn't be put in that spot. Replays are a killer...that really can't be good for thier confidence....
