    7U or 8U???

    Why are there even 7U or 8U tournaments or teams? Shouldn't they just be doing fun scrimmages or league games? What happened to Little League??

    19 years...never been thrown out so

    how about if an umpire makes a mistake and you are upset, do you berate a player for making a error or missing a sign or throwing to wrong base or missing a cutoff? Bet you wouldnt handle it the same way

    Tell me theorys on bunting....

    Im coming to see the players do everything, hit, run, pitch, field and yes bunt. Show me everything you can do. If you cant bunt fine but if you can let me see it also

    Team Change After Fall

    Its called " we are a business" and "dont compete for a spot, just go someplace else". Some organizations have 2 to 3 teams at each level but they always need to fill the 3rd for some reason. Why not just have less teams in your organization???

    The Decline of Umpiring

    and Im saying thats why no one wants to umpire. Give up a day to get berated by wacko parents and/or coaches? No thank you

    The Decline of Umpiring

    so what did you mean be "getting the brunt"?? Im saying its not ok to get berated at any job by the public. Why would anyone take any kind of money to get berated by public stuff?? No amount of money is worth that. And thats what the umpires are telling me.

    The Decline of Umpiring

    so its ok to scream and yell and abuse them??? Have you asked other umpires why there is a shortage? I ask them at every tournament and they say too many people yelling at them and cursing at them because they think a call was wrong. No one needs to hear that

    The Decline of Umpiring

    No one wants to umpire because they dont want the abuse. Simple
