Funny Coaches comment

[strike4]

I was PU. R1 advances to 3B on grounder to outfield. BU calls R1 safe. When play stops, the coach requests time out and ask me if I could get help from BU on my call since I was so far away. I told the coach that BU made the call. The coach immediately started asking if he could get a second opinion from me since I had a better view. When I started smiling, he turned and walked away.

I guess I should have ask BU for a second opinion on his own call.

R1, R2, R3, no outs, B4 hits a long shot to Left field bobling catch, R1 tags and leaves on first touch. Appeal to third for leaving early -- I rule safe. Coach ask me to ask the BU for help. (Have you noticed that "can you ask for help" is a new way for coaches to say you blew the call?) I say nope my call all the way runner retouched and is safe. So you're not going to ask for help? Nope no need I clearly saw what I ruled. You're required to ask by rule. Nope only in NCAA on check swings, not in NFHS on appeal plays when my partner has different responsibilities.

10 U FP --

Can tell it's gonna be bad while walking on the field -- home team has barely graduated from coach pitch, the other team has a handful of travel ball dropouts

Visitors' first 3 batters slap the ball -- Home coach and their fans screaming after second batter slaps and coach coming out of the dugout to protest to me (PU) about them "running up on the ball"

I tell them "it's called slap hitting, coach" and she responds "never heard of it!!" and stalks off to find a league administrator to protest the umpires on field #2 allowing such a thing
