Good luck strutting anywhere with four balls!

As intense as our focus can be on the fields, we umpires tend oh look a puppy!

They should have a dress code for fans at the park... one hot mom had me calling a IFF with no runners on.... (gotta blame it on someone)

I'm still trying to figure out what your complaint is...

The "hot moms" dial on his indiclicker only went up to "9" is my guess.

No thank you. While you may be right about focus, the indicator is a required piece of equipment for all umpires on the softball field; it isn't optional.

I rather focus on the next pitch, rather than the last pitch.

I always have it. If I find myself drifting during a game, I'll put it in my pocket for an inning or two. It's my way to bring my focus back to where it belongs.

You can sell that snake oil all you want, haven't bought it is the 43 years I have worked baseball and softball. It is a tool of the trade just as is a mask, chest protector, shin guards or cup. There is an umpire in our association who thinks not using an indicator is manly and professional. He hides behind the catcher, moves on pitches, spends more time talking to the coaches and fans than watching the game and he often loses the count. It gets so absurd, teams try to keep female coaches off 1B and even the coaches jerk him around about the count. Oh, BTW, did I mention the pebbles he carries? |
