Love these guys that tell other umpires they should request that the manager make changes in his lineup solely for the extra comfort of the umpire. How do you know that's not their best catcher (this is 10U afterall - and no one has had to stop a pitch at all before this age)...

What if the only other girl that can catch is their best fielder? You "demand" (I've heard umpires use that word in this context) a better catcher, so he has to put the only athlete he has behind the plate, and now, because the umpire is afraid to get hit... by a pitch thrown by a 10 year old girl... this team loses the game because they have to put a lesser fielder at first base.

Buggbob - you were not stupid. Your UIC may have been.

The initial post, about VARSITY ball, is a different story. I just can't believe the number of times on here I read about this at 10U.
