I think the average salary is a mediocre hot dog and a coke after the game

[Hot Tabasco]

It’s pretty much all of them.

You can throw many parents into the mix as well.

A good friend umpires girls high school fast pitch games and he says they have such a shortage of umpires here in Michigan, they're now paying them $100 per game in order to attract more into the ranks.

Well that does it! I’d fight the umpire too. If it would have been a lousy hotdog and a warm coke, I would have just give him the finger. You’d think that little league players would make more. Heck Shoie Ohtani is making nearly a Billion with his career, of course it is the LA Dodgers not the Harold’s Hadware Store Squirrel Chasers. Still the kids are under paid. You can’t pave your driveway, if that’s the best your rug rat can bring home. Aah me! The world is going to 💩.

Joe- I’m not angry. TRYING to empathize.

Not working so well.

I have Navy vet friends your age who are having tough times.

If you’re really down, find a church nearby. Get some help.

Yup—in a major league baseball game it is very rare that an umpire gets every ball and strike call correct.

In addition we now know for certain (with the review process) that a significant number of other umpire calls are incorrect—again averaging about one bad call a game.

If managers went ballistic and created a scene for every bad call it would probably add an hour on to every game.

[Az Joe]

You, are a loser

"I coached for years in my son’s baseball and daughter’s softball leagues...While I did not always agree with the calls (and some were egregious), I taught my players that the umpire might not always be right, but he/she was always the umpire

Good lesson for kids. Meanwhile adults should keep in mind that if the umps were actually good at umping, they'd be umping at a higher level than little leagues.
