Opinion on a rat's "honesty"
Double-A game. Sounds like the umpire kicked the call on a play at the plate that decided the game. The player who was called safe to win the game says "I was out."

another avenue?
WWTB, what about your friend contacting PBUC directly? I heard they might be starting their own umpire school.

Good work
The replacement umpires did a very good job at the seven or so games I attended. Saw a few missed rotations but nothing that a fan would notice and nothing that upset the field staff.

Gotta love that mentality-
1. It's not okay for guys to take work that AMLU umpires are refusing to do. They're "scabs."
2. It is okay for AMLU umpires to take work from umpires who usually do...

spring
Do you think MiLB can tell MLB clubs how much to pay? I'd be surprised if they could.
So the minor lg umps turned down $100 per day? Did that include per diem and housing or is that separate?
