Has a staff member told you that a PU can't be moving back to the plate with his/her eyes on the ball or just one of your local legends? If it was the latter, I'd do some checking for myself before I come on here and get too mouthy.

as a matter of fact they have.... so whose to mouthy ? and why get so offended? how many post seasons have you worked? my guess = 0 at least none since the SUIP is really prominant and its evaluators being tougher than some local yokal.

I'd be surprised if it were Emily. It contradicts conversations we've had in the past.

Absolutely irrelevant. Not sure why you keep bringing the post season up. My resume' has nothing to do with the subject of this thread nor any other. Including it in a screen name or on a list of associations in a signature tells me more about the official than their ability to officiate.

Actually you brought up staff member ... thus the SUIP thus your resume' There are times where people work improperly or contradictory to that manual and those people for the most part DO NOT work post seasons... for the most part. thats why its completely relavent. P.s. your red herring logical falicy attack on my screen name will not deflect the fact that your wrong and will continue to be wrong about this. And it wasnt emily

Right or wrong, not watching where one is going is a dangerous move by any umpire especially at the plate where players have been known to take their alleged "practice swings" while completely oblivious to the immediate environment and those occupying that space.

Again, back to just killing the ball and hustling back into position seems to be the safest and most expedient method.

Then why can't the runner's run? Could it be that is because the same amount of action is supposed to take place during this period as that when the ball is dead? Oops!

I have not heard the argument that Irish just used before, but now that he says it it makes sense, not bad for a Slow pitch guy

You've been around since march 05 and never heard the argument Mike's making before?

If I'm close enough to the plate to be hit by a practice swing, there's no need to be moving towards it while my partners are moving.
