What's this?

As far as the same crew comment


Was the same guy calling it yesterday (from 3B) in the same position on Saturday as well?

You say it's a crew decision but its not is it? Each official has their won section of the field as their primary focus and all three cannot be watching the pitcher.

So in reality, unless it was the same umpire in the same position on back to back days (which seems unlikely with the way folks get rotated), you are going to have a different eye so you are going to have different perspectives.

I had a girl Saturday at a college lacrosse game get upset that I didn't call something on her approach into the CSA. However, I was not the lead official in that direction and the lead official's responsibility is to watch "on the ball" fouls. As one of the two trail officials, I am responsible for off the ball rules infractions. So when this player came at me on blast, I explained to her that this wasn't my focus, call or in my field of view before booking her with a yellow for dissent.

  Another comment, why was 3B ump looking at pitcher -- rtp_hokie67 04/10/2022 11:26PM
  Because it is a 3-man crew and when runners are on 1st and 2nd, the 2nd -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 06:54AM

  Especially since umps had no field video to review pitches ** -- rtp_hokie67 04/10/2022 11:35PM
  It is not a reviewable call anyway -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 06:55AM
  This is not a S/B call. It is a rule interpretation ** -- rtp_hokie67 04/10/2022 11:39PM
  Help me out... -- HokieJack 04/11/2022 07:11AM
  The rule is clear. It was the timing of the calls that was the problem. ** -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:26AM
  Timing is not part of the rule... -- HokieJack 04/11/2022 07:31AM
  Timing was a problem. The call was made on strikeouts and outs. -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:45AM
  He was calling it every time the FSU 3rd base coach whined about it.. -- SWVAhokiegirl 04/11/2022 09:27AM
  That's technical the right way of doing it -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 07:50AM
  Sure that’s how it’s supposed to work but it wasn’t -- hokiepro 04/11/2022 09:25AM

  I don't think sothe ump is supposed to give the delayed dead ball signal -- SWVAhokiegirl 04/11/2022 09:02AM
  If it’s an illegal pitch on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc pitch -- VTsportscaster 04/11/2022 08:58AM
  Was Keely doing it or the FSU starting pitcher doing it & it wasn't called? ** -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 07:30AM
  No, their pitches were legal. ** -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:46AM
  I keep hearing that all pitchers throw illegally as an excuse -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 07:51AM
  Yeah I watched the first inning of Sandercock yesterday -- VTsportscaster 04/11/2022 10:07AM
  The Freshman at Oklahoma has that issue -- hokiepro 04/11/2022 10:46AM
