SMOOTHBLUE

by all means please come help.. now please be aware. you will have to call the game on the floor. not in the stands where the best angle is. Again I ask, what about all the calls they get right? and thanks for sending in your money to start officiating. your uniform will cost you 200 and fees 250. Gas is cheaper now so the 2 hour drive wont cost to much. tell your family good bye for 4 months. and please enjoy fans like you USED to be. They are priceless.

I did it for 30 year,s High School, College and Professional Baseball. Its funny now to sit in the stands and listen. most don't know the rules differ in high school. but that's not the case. I have found that I have more trouble with players from these parents. so I usually pass them by. But your so right, little money and all the grief. ITS NOT WORTH IT so their child can play a game. I would rather stay home and read

THANK YOU. just asking, how much was those checks?

I'm no longer an Official. I stopped in the Southern League AA Baseball. But now I'm a college coach. I sit in the stands and listen. also I make sure I know who's kid is who's. That means a lot in the recruiting of a player. as I see it, you seem to say, let someone else do the job. I just want to fuss. and no the video wasn't good. but have you seen the video of all the calls they got right? I have to ask one question. How many of you work a job for very little pay. get blasted most nights. And all the people who watch you work, they only want one thing. Start out PERFECT, and GET BETTER. Remember, College coaches recruit the whole family. So wonder who will be listing tonight...

I've heard a lot of complaining about refs. How they missed this call and that call. It seems to me 10 or more people on hear are very good at seeing all the fouls. But one thing I haven't heard is " I would like to get into officiating so I can raise the quality of the game. Wonder why I haven't heard that. And for the question about getting the checks before the game, Have you ever tried to get a check from a team who just lost by 2 and they blame you? Good luck with that.
