Where did I say the umpire was wrong? I said I was not happy: and the board explodes! I thought umpires had thick skin but I can see that you are a very sensitive bunch. I'm really sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. BTW this was in a 12U summer rec league game, I was helping to coach my grand daughter's team, and no, she wasn't the pitcher. I just wanted to know what to tell my travel ball pitchers if the situation ever came up in one of their games.So you were mad that your team was losing AND your pitcher committed an illegal pitch, but the umpire is wrong because ... ?
