Wade, I am disheartened to read this written about you. I used to have a quote in my signature that read "What is right, isn't always popular and what is popular, isn't always right." You, the umpire who was good enough to make it to this playoff game, made a good, gutsy call. Hold your head high in knowing you did the right thing.

#1. Base coach was addressing batter, not the umpire.
#2. Coach can only make request and did so of the wrong party. #3. DC apparently has a few shortcomings when it comes to an expanded vocabulary. #4. A properly coached pitcher would know to NEVER stop a delivery once started. #5. Even if you did have an ear-to-ear grin or laughed, so what? The umpire is there to officiate a game for BOTH teams, not to commisserate over either team's issues, failures or lack of fortune. Anyone who doesn't understand that hasn't the authority to provide comment or opinion on sporting events. JMO |

I've had this instance..
I've had a team literally sit down on the field and refuse to play for 15 mins until a TD got to the field (she was at another field and had to drive there). The weak sauce irritating PU did not forfeit them, which I would have done.. and in fact asked me if I would just leave so the team would play. That of course, wasnt happening. (FTR: I was BU, Pitcher was stepping back, coach believed it was legal and would not correct the pitcher, after the 2nd or 3rd IP call.. she sat em down right on the field "because I was picking on the girls") I've had a coach push me and it was so bad it went to hearing with our commish. (FTR: Coach did not believe runners advanced on an IP) All 3... over illegal pitches. It cracks me up when I see people at ezteams pretend they want more called.

At least this article didnt demonize me
http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.d...ORTS/805170331 The only glaring error in that one I see in that one is the "umpires" didnt explain anything, an umpire did... .not me. The other thing, on the HBP, the discussion was also as to whether the batter went (she was slapping when she got hit).
