| April 1, 2015 kdll | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Thank you St. George Utah I have to admit, the fields at Canyons are beautiful. Great city, great people. SSUSA is a class act. On the other hand, I have to disagree about the umpiring.The umpires, that we had, were terrible. Here are a few examples: 1. In our first game, the very first batter came around to score and stepped right on home plate. I was yelling at the blue to turn around and look. He never did. When he finally came back to the plate, he put his head down and said he was sorry for not watching. I told him it was OK, as I know it is hard to watch everything. I asked him to please watch them from now on. It happened 2 more times, and he did not " see " them either. We lost the game by one run. Could of turned out better for us if he was watching. 2. The umpire in our 4th game gave the other team 4 home runs. The rule is 3, I guess he could not count. We tried to show him where they hit their 3rd HR, but he would not hear it. 3. The home plate umpire, in a two umpire system, overruled the base umpire on a double play. He called it correctly, a 6-4-3 double play. Now, the base umpire was in perfect position to see the whole play. The home plate umpire never moved from behind the plate. She told him, she had a better look at the play than he did. So she overruled the base umpire and said the batter beat the throw to first. My question is : then why was he even there? Umpires make mistakes, I know that. But, some of these things should NEVER happen. |
