It's a live ball game (sure)

I'll bet they brush the plate off a little more frequently when there's only 2 minutes left on the clock, too.

Gee, not that *I* would ever do that. Repeatedly...

Three options:

1) Coach was exaggerating.

2) She got a lot of slo-pitch umpires instead of fastball umpires.

3) Those were slo-pitch games.

Coach was probably exaggerating a bit, but clearly this was not a one time thing with one umpire.

They may be slow pitch umpires also, but this school has all of their varsity games covered by my HS association, and most of the varsity umpires are quite experienced.

They were not slow pitch games.
