blocking the plate question

CWS - College World Series. (where 3 or is it 4?) of our finest missed obstruction on what would have been the tying run in the biggest game of the year.

Give me the warning, throw me out, and know that you and your crew won't be invited back to do that TD's tourneys because you ejected one of his paying customers on a bull$hit call. Its the real world out here Mike, working Blues don't get to sit around and pontificate.

Theres a red flag right there....I would put that crew back on your game as often as possible after a bull**** comment like that...If a TD is so weak kneed as to give in to his"paying customers" like that..he WONT have good umpires around....

I don't umpire games based upon future assignments. Any umpire who does isn't worth having. If that is who you want to work your games, you are more than welcome to use them. BTW, the umpires around here are not working this weekend because of rain. Not much else to do then sit here and listen to coaches tell us they know better.

College World Series? Thought that was baseball and even then, it is nothing more is a cruel joke which supports other countries' view of Americans as arrogant. Just how many countries are permitted to take part in the "world" series?

Bigdawg,

Rather than work yourself into a frenzy because of that red cape I waved in front of you, Ponder this. I thought I knew the rules of basketball. Then we integrated, and I quickly learned a whole new way to play the game from my new friends. Ticky tack fouls were not going to be called, even though the way we played was a little rougher than the pontificating rule makers intended. The game itself changed, and in a good way.

In the same vein, for those of you who have either played or coached softball (which is most of you), I don't think that any of you are ever going to throw me out on the ticky tack scenario I laid out. Further, I believe that as a sport we are on a course to morph towards the way little ball is played.

That's my opinion, and if I do get tossed, it will be the first time ever, and I will report back to you what happened.
