and I love how Nazi comparisons can be used to prove both sides of just about anything. Kids can be called brainwashed Nazi's for following orders, coach can be called a Nazi for abusing someone of a different color (blue), ump can be called a Nazi because he was abusing his power. Parents are Nazis, well they are TB parents so it is self explanatory.

last post on this topic I swear, I realize I am the only one sick enough to find the whole thing amusing...

I'm just as sick as you are squeeze.

At least she finally hit her spot.

I hate to make "lite" of a serious situation, but I thought the same thing.....pitcher walks a bunch of batters, but when called upon to "zing" the umpire she drills him right in the middle of the face mask.....

Criminal? What a bunch of pansies. Stand up for yourself and handle your own business. Maybe the next time someone tries to bully that kid she will throat punch em. If the Ump had a problem with the coach throw the coach out of the game. Don't ruin the game by not calling strikes.

Throw a softball at someones head during a disagreement on the streets and you looking at assault charges at minimum. So how is this any different? If you don't like the zone hes calling pull your team off the field, what are you losing besides a 1:30 drop dead showcase that neither team wins or cares about. If my kids coach pulled this **** I would pull my kid from the game and walk there's better teams to be affiliated with. IMHO

You guys are finally coming around. Maybe they just paint an Ump face on the catchers glove.

Since you care so much. Shouldn't you be concerned with the well being of the victim.

according to you the victim was the pitcher who was required, I mean get this, REQUIRED to actually throw a strike for one to be called. The nerve of that umpire

It also sounds like one of the fans complaining might have been Tommy Chong. Listen to it again.

Sure did. I wondered why it sounded so familiar.

On several occasions I have quietly told a catcher, "you know, I can see you move your glove" when they try to pull a pitch into the strike zone and hold it for me.

This confirms my suspicions that you are smarter than you are grumpy

 

[starsnuffer]

I've never observed a catcher frame a ball to make it a strike, but I've seen plenty of strikes turned into balls.

Bucket, is it really necessary to go into a detailed description of framing a pitch since everyone knows exactly what it is?

Since you are struggling to understand my point don't bother. I doubt it would be relevant.
