If you have several games, you can probably just stay stationary behind the plate.

Since then, I've not heard a thing from any pitcher, games go smoother,...survival.....I'm betting that 99% of SP players dont know what a double fist pump means anyway... Last edited by archangel; Mon Oct 13, 2008 at 12:50pm. |

Lets get real here, its mens rec SP, and there's enough complaints about anything that doesnt go a players way, that I'm going to control the game (psst! its called game management) so that it goes smoothly. I follow ASA mechanics on all but that sitch..and if my choice is what I do there vs the proper ASA mechanic for that specific sitch, plus let the game go longer, and temperatures get higher..well, I know what's the "right" thing to do. I also dont take abuse, and toss who I have to. Sorry that you are confused... |

Usually, the most I'll hear is "did it hit the black?" My answer: "yep, and the white part, too."

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again. |

Oh I think I have a little vomit in my mouth right now.
I learned something else this weekend that ties right into this thread: If you're the tournament UIC, you get to do any or all of the following: - Assign scheduling the crew to someone else, i.e.: hire your own "scheduler" - Make sure the "scheduler" assigns yourself into the schedule to work just as many games as the most worked umps on the crew. - Not pay the "scheduler" any of your UIC fee. - Wear a long sleeved dark blue sweatshirt underneath your powder blue short sleeved ASA uniform shirt. - Throw a hissy fit when a decision is made to start a game on time and use an umpire waiting for one field to finish because the decision wasn't made by you. . . Because you were working a game and couldn't be contacted. - Complain that it's 45 miles to the fields each way. - Complain that it's not worth the UIC fee of $3/game to do the job - Complain that it's too much money to buy anything other than water, donuts, apples, and candy for refreshments for the crew. - Deny the acusation that you're in it for the money. I'm sure there's more that bkbjones will fill in...

Dave: Above you will see my response to the original question. He had a slightly longer chain.

- Forget three times to attach the schedule to the e-mail, then tell two umpires you overlooked "I sent the schedule three times." - Switch SRW from said championship game to a practice game. This crew chief bought one bunch of bananas for the weekend. Oh, yeah, we reimburse the UIC for the supplies they buy for the crew for the weekend. Apparently he has fired his scheduler, cuz he has neither e-mailed nor called. I imagine I will hear the call sometime Thursday...

Im guessing thats this is not the first time y'all have worked for this guy because of the "he's been told 100 times" comment... I only have one question.... WHY? do you keep working for him? One thing I can say for sure is that around here, the UIC's I have the pleasure of working for are great. they only umpire when they have to... they know the freaking rules and are pretty darn good at getting the coaches off yer butt "when and if needed".. they either hook us up with meal tickets or arrange food like jambalaya or ettoufee or buy sandwich stuff to make your own and fruit and drinks. Ok, maybe I am spoiled. BTW: is it proper to offer the UIC money to reimburse them... coz I always assumed they bought the stuff with money out of a fund.
