Hey, interesting thing happened on Saturday evening I'd like your thoughts on...
Got a question Bretman ...That was a fun game to work (I was the third base umpire in the championship game).
I don't mind the cheering. That seems to be part of the game. It is when girls scream at the top of their lungs that is annoying and should be disallowed.

In one of our games the HP ump tells us at the coin toss that the girls need to be respectful and not cheer during the pitch. At least that is how I heard it. He mentioned that cheers directed to the pitcher or a player would not be allowed.. all well and good of course. So when the game started he raises his hand to my bench (we hit first and the girls were 'cheering') and waves them to be quiet.
He basically did not allow any cheering from the girls from the moment the pitcher got her sign until the pitch was over. I was blown away - that is such a big part of the fun for the kids to cheer their team mate/batter (the right way of course). Even more interesting was when Kepples 10u team came and sat on the hill beside first base with our parents he told them they could not cheer 'during' the pitch. Have you ever seen that and can an umpire basically require quiet from the time the pitcher gets the sign until the pitch is delivered?

Guy with the pony tail called a good game behind the plate when we had him.
We had one of our home plate umpires stop our the game and walk down to me in the first base box and warned us about cheering during the other teams pitcher pitching. We also had our pitcher intentionally walked without having the pitcher throw a pitch to walk her, we had base runners and I thought that took away from giving them a chance to advance or even score on passed balls or wild pitches. I understood why she was intentionally walked but at least should have had to throw 4 pitches to walk her, especially with 2 base runners.
