Okay, what do you call on the appeal?
You are the PU on this play, what do you call?
Without the benefit of hindsight or replay?
I am very tempted to call him safe anyway, but his arm and body is high enough over the plate a she...

Ref Ump,
Sorry I think you are wrong. The cat is already out of the bag, whether the book is out or not. In this day and age, nobody gets the benefit of the doubt in pro sports, as our good friend...

Gotta disagree there
People died from being hit by batted balls before the advent of the metal bat. I disagree with the lawsuit, even if I grieve with the family affected by it.

Sorry Men, thanks Moderators
I would have deleted the post had I the opportunity after your comments.
No offense intended, but I was rather upset to see something like this. I hate stealing.
FYI, you made a good choice...

Why?
Some of us remember when the original Smitty lanyard for basketball officials came out in the last century. The name on the jacket doesn't matter as long as it works.
Is it warm?
BTW, anyone...

Sorry, another boring equipment thread
Folks,
I need some recommendations.
I need a new black plate coat for next year and a new pullover that is worth a hoot. One with a collar that stays down if you put it down, and goes up if...

Kevin, a question
With all due respect,
Are you an Angels fan, or is there some other reason you are so angry in these threads?
I really am not happy with the guys involved in these foul-ups either, nobody is...

You may well be right, but you and I are not the ones who put him MLB, nor are we the people who evaluate him every year. He is considered by the people who hire the umpires one of the best in the...

This is a shame IMO.
After the regular season body of work that gets an umpire into the playoffs, it seems pretty rough to dump as guy because he made a bad call or two on TV. Even if the call is...

Your point?

I don't disagree with you, he messed up big time. I stated why I think he did, but no matter what the reasons, he has to accept the consequences for his actions, just like we have to accept...

RP, yes, but
As you well know the speed of the game is very quick out there, and if the ball is a rocket shot the 3B umpire might have a harder time lining it up than the HP umpire does. The PU does have the...

Which Call is the worst ever?
Kevin,
I am confused. Are you saying that camera angles are always perfect to get the best view of any play? Are you just so mad about the two calls missed at 3B you can't see the forest from the...

Please do not put your thoughts in my post, Kevin.
Ah,
Kevin, you misunderstand. It was an explanation, not a defense. I use this site as way to become a better umpire and teacher of umpires, not a forum to bash people. I am not sold on the tag at...

First off, I'm not sold on all these video cameras Fox is using.
Second, Tim needed a couple more steps to get into a great position to see the tag. Was he wrong? Maybe, but see the post above. ...

Mbyron, a note
You are wrong about U3. That's okay, I probably did not describe him very well. He is a very, very good umpire, and a class individual. I have worked with people who are over-inflated between the...
