I played with STN as C/EH this weekend, big lefty. any way The Smokey Mtn Classic was awesome and, next year I expect alot more teams, it will become a great destination tourney for lots of teams.

We looked great the first day and quit hitting the second, but had a great time. After the rain left, the tournament ran well except the skinny ump that was an idiot. The tattoo balls were flying out of the park. FYI, I was told if I asked for time again, that I would be ejected and the runners would be given the next base. This was a first for me. LMAO Anyway, hopefully we will be back next year. coop3636

June 5, 2012 coop3636 49 posts	I was pitching at the time. The ball came back in from the outfield on a hit and I hollered for time (like I always do and most others do) The ump told me that I could not ask for time and if I did it again i would be thrown out of the game and the runners would be given a base. (Maybe he thinks asking for time is verbal interference) He was an idiot on all counts. Both teams were getting a good laugh (or cry) at his calls from balls and strikes to rules. the arch limit was 6-12 in the rules and my pitches were being called illegal at about 8 foot When even the batter laughs at the call, all you can do is smile and throw it again. I think he was flipping a coin on each pitch to see if it was a ball or strike. (for both teams) I can pitch to anyones strike zone, they just have to have one..lmao coop3636
