I got the worst call comment from a coach today during a PONY tournament.
Tie game and bottom of the seventh inning. R1 is at second base with two outs. DC yells to her catcher form the dugout to request time. F2 asks for time and I grant it. DC comes out of the dugout and yells to the outfielders to move in a couple of steps. As the DC heads back towards the dugout I let her know that she was being charged with a conference. Here's how the conversation continued: DC: What do you mean I'm being charged with a conference? You can't do that, my catcher was granted the timeout not me! Me: It became a charged conference when you came onto the field and gave instructions to your players Coach: That's the worst call ever. Don't think you've heard the last of this; I'll be talking to the UIC when this game is over Me: That's fine coach but for now I need to know who you will be replacing your pitcher. That was your fourth conference. B2 smacks a gapper to right-center field on the first pitch from the new F1 bringing in the winning run. My partner and I leave the field hearing comments of how I had won the game for the other team. Yada Yada Yada. |

What is pony? Glorified rec? This is all preseason stuff right now around here until Memorial Day.
I might get flamed but I probably would have let that go. Let the girls play - I'm not big on the large and in charge stuff. Stuff like that I just let the coach know what I would normally do. Championship play - Whole different ball game. Some BS preseason Pony .. what ? 12U? tourney... nah. Sorry. But not the worst call ever... ![]()

I don’t see in my OP where I appeared to brag about a “gotcha” call. It seemed pretty straight forward to me. The coach was charged with a conference. It was conference number four. By rule, on the fourth conference a different pitcher is required. |

Maybe the coach was a jerk? Doubtless he probably was having problems with you all game or even in the past.. and you got him on this one? hmmm? Why else would he even try this that way unless there is some level of history here? Confess and ye shall be set free. At least admit you were getting this coach for whatever reason. Because IMO, this is very preventable and this type of call exactly falls under a "preventative umpiring" issue IMO. In any case, at least its in the right thread. ![]()
