Learned something new:)

So a batter checks her swing with 2 strikes, we ask home plate blue for help from his partner as we obviously think this was clearly a swing. He wont give us help. So I go out and ask him why we cant get help, to which he replies that since there were base runners on base, his partner's job is to watch the runners and therefor he can not possibly be watching the hitter to know whether or not she swung.


So I learned something new about umpiring this weekend. If runners are on base, we can never get help on a swing from the field umpire.

Glad I am always learning something new from the experienced men in blue...... and that is why, ILUVBLUE:)

You likely didn't "learn" this from experienced men in blue, because if they were experienced they probably wouldn't be giving you a bogus explanation like the one you got.

Un-learn what you were taught...fast!

I have come to love the blues.... the good ones, because i truly appreciate the guys out there that are really good. But when I get some guy that tries to blow smoke up my arse like this guy, just really pisses me off.
