IM, the umpire's name is Linda
But I'll take your word for it. Linda is a guy, if you say so. Too bad for him to have to go through life named Linda.

This bogus ump called 11 illegal pitches and obviously didn't see the catch that triggered the game ending double play. After standing there looking for help for 20 seconds she decided to call the...

Big East 1st Base Ump
Calling illegal pitches big time. In the DePaul/Syracuse game. Has he already gone way beyond reasonable NCAA standards and taken the game away from the Cuse?

Nike commercial
Anyone seen the Nike commercial. They did in 62 seconds what ASA should have done before the olympic vote killing softball. Perhaps the greatest video and political statement ever.

Yes, this is a legal pitch
Based on the umpire calls I've seen over the years including ASA Nationals 18A, NSA Nationals 12U, PONY Nationals 12U, this is a legal pitch, no question. Why go from 12 to 18. Because the kid is...

Irish, here's what I understand about the strike zone. Any part of the ball in the officially defined zone is a strike. So, an umpire is on reasonably solid ground calling a ball over the white...

You should be embarrassed.
Beyond understanding. You are proud that you call a strike when the ball is clearly out of the strike zone. You should give up umpiring today.

Just telling you how your ASA umpires do it in NJ.
If you don't like it, you should get your ASA buddies to find way to get NJ in line.
