Maybe the stupidest thing; "C'mon blue, call 'em (pitches) both ways!"


In the TOP of the first inning!

Coach yells, "Come on, Blue - you're missing a good game."
Fan (who I learn later umpires elsewhere) on HIS side yells, "He knows, coach, but they sent him here instead."

Related to this one....I was watching a buddy of mine work a D1 game at the full stadium of a highly ranked team.

First pitch of the game is just enough off the plate that my buddy calls a ball.
A fan about three rows behind me stands up and yells:

"C'mon, Blue......BE CONSISTENT!"

I'm the PU - Pitcher for team A is throwing an awesome drop ball, breaking right above the knee. She's consistantly hitting the same spot, I'm consistantly ringing it up, and the batters are consistantly striking out.

About the 6th inning, the 1st base coach for Team B is frustrated. Batter strikes out, he yells at me "Come on, blue! That pitch is un-hittable!"

Team A pitching coach, sitting on a bucket outside the 1B dugout, right next to Team B coach: "Why do you think I'm tellin her to throw it, coach?"

I about lost it laughing!

Three favorites:

"Lenscrafters called. They'll be ready in 30 minutes."

"Found your cell phone, Blue. It's got three missed calls."

(While sweeping the plate between innings) "As long as you're there, Blue, flip that thing over and read the directions."

Yeah. Isn't it amazing the effects a game this bad can have on people? Heck, even the players are sleeping standing up!

Not so, coaches do too.

In a tense game, a batter was called out, a decision with which he obviously disagreed.
He paced up and down outside the field until the umpires came out.
'I wasn't out, you know,' he said to the umpire.
'Oh, no? Look in the paper tomorrow!' said the umpire.

----------------

In a local match, the umpire was being jeered and heckled unmercifully from the crowd.
At length he walked over to the boundary and sat down next to his chief critic.
" What are you doing?" asked the spectator.
" Well," said the umpire,"it seems you get the best view from here."


Fun at the ole' ball park!

My favorite fan comment of all time came after I ran a manager for continuing to complain about a call that happened the inning before.

Once the manager walked off the field, one of his fans yelled "Oh come on blue don't take it out on the kids because you never weren't[sic] any good." Shucks, I always thought I was a pretty decent catcher too.

I was on the bases for boys' H.S. jr. varsity baseball game with the leadoff batter up to bat. The pitcher, for some reason, started to pitch fromt the set position, and then wanted to change to the windup in the middle of his pitiching motion. The batter's fans were screaming for a balk to be called.
