Coaching second year 12u team and there was all sorts of questionable or just flat out stupid calls.
- Ball hit to SS with a runner on 2nd. Short stop breaks down to field the ball and the runner plows through her. Ump signals obstruction.... but doesn't call deadball..... I call time after the play is over and the ump tells me it's obstruction on the fielder. After the HP ump say he was watching the play at home. No call. An inning later field ump tells my asst he got it wrong. It's cool only cost us two runs.
- Ball hit in the air on the first base line, pitcher is making a play on it and batter runs into her. Ball pops out and is called foul.
- Them umpire literally has no idea what a DP/Flex rule is..... even though he saw it at the meeting that both teams are using them. Had to get the UIC to explain why I was running for someone who isn't a pitcher or catcher. (championship game ump)
- Runner on 2 & 3rd with 1 out and runner on 3 is the game tying run. I ask the ump to put on the batter..... this takes 2 mins for him to figure it out.
