Had the worst umpire ever last night. First inning, lead off batter drops a drag and is running hard...she was two steps in FRONT of the base just as the 3b is fielding the ball (is still in the throwing motion) just as the ball is thrown, we all here him yell, OUT!!! WHAT????
We all of course are very confused, I'm assuming he thought the bunt hit the batter/runner. Nope, he called a force at 1... My asst coach then proceeds to go nuts on him. The blue then threatens to kick him out etc. As my asst is walking back the blue is staring him down like were back in high school and is trying to intimidate him. Literally not blinking and hard core eye to eye stare down for a solid 20 seconds! Holy crap this guys nuts. The rest of the game was an embarrassment to the sport. My dd was pitching and was furiously mad and crying because even a fb center of the plate at the belt was called a ball. So the other team refused to swing. Walk fest.... after about 6 runs walked in the OTHER TEAMS COACHES walk to the plate and tell the blue they don't want to win "like this" ...umpire then tells them to go coach their team and let him umpire! So at that point the other team just starts to swing at everything, thinking that we can "remove him from the game" nope! Unless it was a pop fly out, she was safe every time. When we were up, we literally had runners beating throws by two and three steps that were being called out. He refused to come up the line on force plays, just stayed parked behind the plate, he was by himself, with no base umpire. Their catcher was digging balls out of the dirt that were "strikes". Worst night of my coaching life. Run rule was in effect at the end of the third. 28-0 We all lined up to do the high five walk and usually the blue will trail, not last night, he disappeared like a fart in the wind. I've never wanted to break a guys nose more in my life. To add insult to injury, my players are so pissed at the situation that they start to take their frustrations out onto each other. Girls that were best friends are calling each other b@#$!es and are ready to fight and quit the team. Unbelievable how one man could have that much influence on my entire team.
Are there any umpires here that will admit being spiteful and giving crap calls to a team if you don't like a coach?
