Raising my girls near Elyria and facing their teams on a constant basis, I will say this...they know a rule book like a back of their hand. They could interpret that rule book with the rest of them=QUOTE].
Sad that the umpires did not have the same dedication...
I remember a 2012 OHSAA D1 contest between Colerain and Little Miami at Colerain...Colerain up 4-1 in the 5th when a Little Miami coach calls a meeting on the mound in the top of 5.
The Drone umpires do as instructed and goes out to the mound. Our coach being young (I think she was like 25) sat in the dugout as the boys club had their meeting...
Inning starts and first pitch called a strike... LM Coach calls time...Goes out and talks to first base umpire, the flood gates open and they call 6 illegal pitches. Wait...It gets better...The LM coach calls time again and goes to the Home Plate umpire with a rule book...
Well as everyone else knew the umpire advanced the runner two bases that they did not do when illegal pitches were called with runners on. Keep in mind the pitcher was not called for an illegal pitch all season and ended up with 13 in 3 innings between the 5 and 7th...So, those that have been to the CAGE know the fans get a little restless. Bottom line is the CARDS hold on to win but LM scored 4 runs on illegal pitches.
Look at this game for more playoff umpire buffoonery...
