You think that's bad? I've shown up to ump a game, and the plate was installed backward!

If you didn't notice the umpires discussing the "foul" lines, that doesn't mean they didn't notice. I'm sure they even discussed it, we have when it comes up. Its unpractical to not play the game due to the inaccuracy of the lines, and I will call the lines.

The last argument I want is a ball that clearly hits chalk and I call it foul. This is something that I addess in the pre-game coach's meeting as well.

"Coach, the lines are a little off and I want you both to be aware that I'm calling the lines as they lay...it hits chalk, its fair!"
