Worst call? Heck, today my partner and I were the worst
umpires ever. I mean, I didn't even know:
(1) The hands ARE part of the bat. Even though the batter didn't swing it should have been a foul ball instead of HBP.
(2) If I ring up a strike on a check swing it can still be appealed to my partner if the offense asks.
(3) I'm the plate umpire, so I'm supposed to overrule my BU's call if it's "blatantly" wrong (this one happened about three times and I still didn't get it right).
I set a new personal record for most sh*thouses in a single game, but having both coaches ticked off at you for getting everything right feels pretty good. Funny thing is, after the game our evaluator wanted to talk some minor mechanics adjustments instead of all the rules we missed and calls we blew...
(If you were about to dig through your rulebooks to correct me you can put them away now.
