Thanks
Thanks for all the input on my original post. I think there is agreement for the most part. The "get it right" argument is going to lead to more issues than a whore in church. There are going to be...

what's up with Div. 1 umps
Two different super regionals. Two different calls. Both changed (incorrectly) after a gathereing of the umps. One a tag / no tag down the firsty base line and the other a first baseman holding the...

How about this
The play certainly fits under the "God" rule. I don't think anyone has disputed that. It certainly "tends to make a travesty of the game".The penalty is any the Referee "considers equitable". While...

Amazed
I'm amazed that this post didn't open a can of worms. As officials it is our responsibility to ensure, at the high school level, that the integrity of the game is protected and that, as much as...

Generally
Different associations, different mechanics but in general on a 5 man crew the Umpire in a free kick situation is on the press box side at the 25 or 30-yard line of R. For a scrimmage kick the Umpire...

Unless
No question you have this right up until (in FED) your state authority makes a determination. In FL, the state has spoken: Any goggles, sun glasses, contacts are LEGAL equipment. I guess that any...

I don't think so
Sounds like a "train wreck" to me and those happen. Unless the catcher or runner intentionally made malicious contact, you don't have anything in this particular case.

Good point. Player's, especially at this age, reflect their coach or coaches. Let him get away with what he did and you are going to have problems with players shortly. Bet on it. Better to dump the...

lesson time
You can understand PLAYERS yelling out, "take one for the team". For a youth COACH to do so is worse than stupid. How about this: A kid OBVIOUSLY takes a pitch to the lead arm as instructed by the...

Yep
Sure it draws a flag. Any time a coach is in the two yard belt from the time the snap is about to take place, until the ball next becomes dead, it is a flag.

Anyone on this forum ever spent any time with Bob D? He is great with us "amateur" umpires. Always ready to talk and help us. Sure he has a rep for the balk call but I've never seen a replay that...

Can't wait for the season to start. The new Fed mechanic calls for the chains to operate 6 feet outside the field of play. In FL, no one other than officials and the chain crew can be in this belt...

Your partner did the unforgiveable! Forget that he shouldn't call an out without seeing it. Forget that he should have come to you for help before he made the call if he wasn't sure. The fact is he...

It isn't illegal substitution or illegal participation. A replaced player is one who has been notified by a substitute that he is to leave the field. He, as the 11th. player, doesn't fit the...

Guys,
If the fumble that is now in the field of play were recovered by A wouldn't you give it to A at that point? The momentum rule (in this case) will only apply when a defensive team player...

There is never going to be agreement over replacement umpires in MiLB. I have friends that are ex AMLU who are working as replacements and others who wouldn't think of it. I know college umpires who...
