So you saw it better than the Umpire

[Turbine]

Prove it. Umpire for three games.

Interesting take. Hope it works out for them.

If they can police the crowd/individuals after ejection, it can work.

If this would go into action at Lamson then the whole park would be kicked out. Almost every pitch called a ball is met with fierce feedback.

Since moving back too Louisiana I have enjoyed watching my 9 year old daughter play park softball and 10 year old godson play travel league baseball.

A lot of these parents and coaches are WAY too vested in the outcome of the games. The umpire ends up taking the brunt of it.

It is almost an added bonus knowing that at some point in the game a parent or coach is going to have an heated argument with the umpire over a call….at a 9/10 year old game.

College is completely different than parents/coaches doing this at little league games.

Apples to oranges.

It is, but some stuff said at Lamson is brutal.

And the majority of the Sunbelt umpires are brutal.

Yeah and no. Like last night, a pitch goes thru the opposite batter’s box, a few folks down the first base line were yelling for a strike call. I sat there and laughed.

Can’t fix the crowd like LL, but same “umpires” workin’ blue.

I will say this, it gets better as they get older. There's rarely any arguments or even discussions with umpires in our 13U games because the coaches are focused on preparing their players for high school. For our games, we mostly have LHSAA and/or SunBelt umpires. Even the parents (most of them) are much calmer as the players get older.

Then apparently things have changed a lot in that regard in the last 10 or so years.

Things have changed because of new organizations. The more sensible teams are leaving to play the new orgs that aren't a giant cluster.
