I thought this would be a good place for umpires to talk about all the coachs mistakes, after all they all blame us in the other posts. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
1. Long deep fly to center girl on third (tying run) he never tells her to tag opps to late run never scored team loses. And they balme us for blown calls!!!
2. Single to ball come back to pitcher circle. Player rounds first stands there, coach is chatting with a fan. opps to late look back rule batter out. Cmon blue she was moving back, Oh Yea back to the dugout.
3. No out runners on first and second, infield pop up ...Umps yells infield fly both girls off an running... She tagged blue..Yea right she did...triple play
4. Base hit to right field, girls runs way past first and takes wide turn to second, ball was thown into second baseman who turns to tag girl only to see she is by the outfield grass after wide turn, missed tag, tying run scores. Coach comes out argues, that the girl was out of the running lane. Field ump explains she made her path to second base, walks back to dugout tells his girls its 11 against 9 no way we can win.
Gets rule book out comes back out and says it says right here the runner must stay in the running lane.
opps wrong rule the running lane is down the first base line. Loses game tells his girls the umps cost us from going to the championship game.
You get the idea these actually happened in a travel ball tournament 14-u and 18-u but the guy in blue cost us the game.
Any other blues have some good coach stories of how we cost them the game like the ones above that actually happened?
