QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 8, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Why didn't he move to get a better angle? And isn't it a dead give away when the fielder is still trying to tag him all the way till hes on the base? an ump has a split second to decide where to move, and most of the time its just instinct. saying "why didnt he move to get a better angle" is, most of the time, naive. now granted every once and a while there really is a situation where the ump just didnt move at all but for the most part they're all trying to be in position.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 8, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I have umped a lot to for anywhere from 10-15 year olds. I don't gain any repspect at all for umps who f*** up things like the Crede steal. That's just sheer laziness not to watch the play through. How hard is it to watch the play and see if he gets tagged? from his angle it looked like he was tagged... he doesnt have the replays and angles we have - and once he makes a call, even if he knows its wrong, he has to stick with it. i know that one from experience.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) I've blown a call or two. It happens. Now a patched umpire of a couple years, I have all the respect in the world for the profession. It's a lot harder than it seems fellas. b****ing about calls is a thing of the past, I have far too much mutual respect to ride the umps anymore.i it is hard... to be that focused for that long. you have to be constantly watching where the ball is at all times - and calling safe or out can be tricky on close plays cuz you have to watch the bag and listen for the catch... or, on a stolen base like that... sometimes it comes down to whether the ball gets there first or not... its actually really hard cuz they dont have all those angles and replays we get...

damn, pauly robbed of a base hit, carl out at 2

carl 2 for 2, another single

QUOTE(JimH @ May 8, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) Everybody on this board who's an umpire is a good ump. It's just these major league guys we're having the problem with. There, now we've settled that. lol works for me

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) As a patched IHSA official, I resent that. me too! although im only a babe ruth ump...
