Slow Pitch Umps

[QUOTE=scottk_61][quote=jimpiano]Thanks for the advice, although the ad hominems diminish your credibility in my opinion.

Your opinion of my credibility is NOT one of my greater worries in life.

It is really too bad that you can't just admit that you need to change and adapt to proper mechanics.

This forum is not exclusive to ASA, not even umpires.

The leagues I work in all have variations of rules and regulations, none conform to any particular rulebook. The umpires are supervised by the league commissioners.

I do belong to ASA and attend the local clinics. The ASA tournaments are dwindling,however. When working for ASA I do try and follow its guidelines.

The plate signal you so abhor will always be used in the leagues I feel it will be helpful to the players.
