Umpire gaff

[In10city]

You're right, sometimes their calls stink. But I couldn't do it....

If you umpire you will make mistakes and thats ok as long as overall you try to get calls right. I know some umpires that could care less if the calls are right they have a saying that i'm looking for 42 outs the sooner i get them the sooner i get to go home. I know one umpire that after every game he does he tells that he believes he just missed 1 maybe 2 calls and thats if he's behind the plate. But his next sentence is i realized in the 2nd inning my strike zone was a little tight so in the next inning i changed it. So he don't even believe his own calls sometimes. That also tells me he missed every call the first 2 innings of the game and that could cost some teams the game.

there is alot of good umpires in the state and alot of bad ones to. the problem is the bad one think they are good.

You are right hardball the good ones you don't notice during a game and the bad one's stand out like a sore thumb. The one i'm talking about want's everyone to know he's the UMPIRE !! like every knee should bow when he enters the ballpark.

Yes the umpires i have seen in area games are bad. Even the refs for high school sub state and state games were bad. I go to Alcoa and i paint up and one of our students wears a ref shirt and a couple of games especially the game against PF in Sub State I thought I was going to have to throw him on the court to call the game

the umpire shouldnt mean anything between a win and a loss.... score more and they cant decide the game
