Softball umpire makes the worst call ever

The team batting is Fultondale High School, my first coaching stop, 24 years ago.

this made sportscenter on espn a couple/few days ago.

Surely they reversed the call.

NOPE!! The first base coach made the runner stay on base. The umpire told her to get off the base so they could continue play. The shitty call didn't hurt Fultondale. They spanked Minor 19-8 or something close to that.

Wow...you would think the HP ump would overturn it.

You would think! The umpiring, officiating field is diluted with people that are strictly there for the money and nothing else. I've personally had instances where the umpire has looked at his watch multiple times in a half inning and even in a single at bat!! I called their ass out on it too!! Had one tell me before a game once that he "had a case and a half of beer on ice in his cooler and had a piece of tail for afterwards!" Told him that as long as he called a good game. 3 innings in and I was hammering that ass about his strike zone sucking hind tit and that he could forget his beer, the piece of tail, and his damn money for the game!! I then told him to help me roll out the Juggs pitching machine and set it up so we could save both teams pitchers f om having to throw so many pitches because of his shitty strike zone!! Didn't have the balls to toss me either!!

@PurlJam , I once had the HP umpire call a line drive foul when it "hit the chalk"!! I had 2 runners on and this hit would've won the game. Ump called "foul ball!" I lost my shit!! He then explained inexplicably that "l didn't see it!" I begged that he appeal to the ump in the field who saw it hit the chalk and he immediately turned to make sure each runner touched base. The field ump upon hearing my statement turned his back!! Didn't change the call and I lost by a run!!

Once had an ump with the old bubble chest protector tell me that my pitcher " throws the ball too damn fast" and that he "couldn't see it due to that fact!"

That's bad, only thing worse would have been if it were t-ball. :shock:

Or basketball, or softball, or baseball. You caught a game lately, either at The Joe or at Rhoads. Officiating is awful regardless of sport!!!
