Everything I know about being an umpire I learned from coaches!!!

[blue]

Umping the plate last week, and learned how to cover bunts from 1st base coach. No runners, batter squared to bunt, missed, strike one. He calls time. Tells me that the base ump's vision, who is an exellent ump with great mechanics, is blocked by F3 when the batter bunts and that I will have to take the play. I look at him and said "huh?". He repeats what he just said. I told him "thanks, I'll take the play at 1st." The batter ended up striking out. I was curious as to what he was going to say if she did get a bunt down. 12U rec ball.
