Throw coming from 3B side of field and BU1 is making the call from foul territory?

Yeah I think it was a bunt up the line and he moved into foul ground. I think it was in the fourth. And my goodness those uniforms are horrible. I looks like rainbow colored trim with a blueish-green shirt. Or is that greenish-blue? And is it ISF between inning mechanics to have all four umpires in the infield on the foul lines?

Just had an out-safe-**** call at 2B. Ouch.

Don't mind the between innings positioning, I prefer it.

BU2 in the C with a runner in 2B. Get a much better view from the other side on a pick-off

My video started buffering on a replay of a pitch. Wow, you would think with the second base umpire on the left field side of 2B (which I really don't prefer), you can see a runner on second leaving early. He kinda missed one.

And like he knows what we're thinking, he's back on the other side with a runner on second. Come on blue, be consistent.

With a runner on 1st, I agree. With a runner on 2nd, not so much as I prefer the umpire to approach a possible play from that position from the open side. Just a preference and since ASA does not recognize 4-umpire mechanics, we cannot be wrong!

I've had enough for tonight.

Not working for me, which sucks!

Darn, some perfectly crappy foreign umpires to make fun of and I dont even get to.

This blows.
