Discussion by umpires after 7 pm game at 12U
Derwil,
Was there any discussion after the 7 pm game on Lagoon field 1? Seems like everything that could happen in a game happened. Girl changing feel on bag got called out for leaving early, 2 offensive conferences in a inning, every play was a banger, etc. I'm sure the umpires on the field thought the game would never end. Been there, done that, and got a tee shirt. By the way the umpires did a great job handing the 2 offensive conferences issue, but the coaches were very unhappy because there is not a penalty for a rule violation. |

Another thing that works really well is to keep a small ice chest you can carry onto the field with a couple of towels in ice and water with spirits of ammonia in it. I have been using this in this Texas heat for years.

Yes there was a discussion about that game, no I was not in it. So far as I can tell the coach insisted on a second conference but was not ejected. Dunno why.
Did I mention the heat sucks. About 10 umpires have at one time or another gone out of their games. One got hit in the head with a thrown ball and spent the night in the ER getting a CAT scan. |

Gotta ask. Was he in the proper position or did the player just throw the ball somewhere she shouldn't have?

Wild throw. 1st baseman didn't realize they had 3 outs and tried to make a play at the plate. PU had taken his mask off and took a step towards his water @ 3rd base dugout. Catcher went to dugout, 1st base threw the ball hard trying to make a play. PU took his eyes off the ball, next thing he knows he was looking at the sky. CAT scan confirmed concussion, no more games @ tourney.

Here is what happened:
While U1 was sweeping plate, offensive coach in dugout stepped out of the dugout and told the batter who was walking to the plate to hit the ball. U1 told the coach that that was his offensive conference for the inning. The 3rd base coach did not hear this. Later in the inning play was stopped so 3rd base coach started talking to the next batter while U1 was in the infield. When U1 turned around and saw the coach talking to the next batter he immediately told the coach that he could not talk to the batter since they had already used their offensive conference for the inning. The third base coach got mad because he did not know about the previous conference. The defensive coach ask if the batter is out since the offensive team had violated the second offensive conference rule. U1 told him no and told the girls to play ball. Defensive coach got mad and ask for the UIC to be called to the field. The UIC came to the field, but determined that U1 handle the issue correctly. Of course every play from that point on was a fuss. |

I might nudge it along with a, "let's keep it moving, coach," but if it's just a couple of words to the next batter, I've got nothing.

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again. |

I'm failing to see how either of these was a conference. |

I agree. From the description, it sounds like it might have been OOO.

Why ???
Do you agree with this call ? By the way you write this it would seem to be a power trip by the U1?
