And one league I play in, an "A" level mens league, takes itself (the league that is, not the players) way too seriously and employs 2 umps for the games when 1 is all thats necessary.

To give you another example, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, fly ball to LC, runner on 3rd leaves really really early, runner on 2nd does not tag. The ball comes in to the infield, 3B appeals [to the PU] the runner at 3rd, the PU says its not my call, its the BU's call [which obv is not right], BU said I wasnt paying attention, safe, 3B argues to PU that not only is it his call, but regardless of whos call it actually is, did you see the runner leave early, and if so can you call him out, bc BU wasnt looking, PU says I cant overrule the BU bc it was his call. later the PU admitted he saw the runner leave early but didnt feel it was proper to overrule the BU, bc it was "his call"

basically about every other game there is a "major" misstake by the umps here that shouldnt happen, especially since the umps have to be certified. If they werent certified and we werent paying them $22/ump/team, it wouldnt be a big deal, bc you "pay for what you get"

Ha! Absolutely classical!
