That's brilliant!!!!!! The state and schools have funding issues already and umpires, who do this as a 2nd job, are wanting to strike. Unfortunately that as much as some of them know about strikes anyway. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! GAMES START IN less than 3 months.

By the way we won the game in question. I have coached for almost 20 years and have never let the game be about me. Umpires need to learn that. That game is only time I have ever been confined. And it was by a rookie that I could not talk to.

Agreed but officials should know the rules and I did catch it after first pitch and sent the correct hitter to the plate and by mistake the umpire called him out instead of letting him assume the count. The point I am making is that umpires have no accountability and they try to steal the show not all umpires but just a few bad ones that care nothing about the integrity of the game

I predict halls and union city advance. Halls will be much better this season

I don't have a problem with the raise however I do have problem with some umpires thinking they are the star of the show and there is no umpire accountability. In a big district game two years ago they blew the rule about batting out of turn not one but both umpires and I got confined. This kind of thing is what upsets coaches and fans about umpiring

Greenfield is good, but Union City is good too. Halls will be much improved, they will be a year older, more mature, and stronger, and former coach has returned. Dont be surprised if Halls makes a run, but I would say Greenfield and Union City are the two teams to beat.
