If you were told that, then you were given very bad advice and trust me, if I'm back there, your ass would be out of the game, as would the pitcher's and your coach's.
I don't put up with any bullshit in my game. NONE. Of course, I hold the local record for season ejections as an umpire anyway. Haha.
the pitcher probably wasnt getting some calls he thought were maybe strikes so he decided to be a butt and tell the catcher to duck so he could hit the ump
But like i said if the ump is good and calling a fair game then it doesnt have to happen. Call it fair for both teams and dont switch the strike zone when your team shows up and it doesnt have to happen.
You could hold the local record for ejections and i would still make sure the ball hit you in someway.
Trust me I know what's intentional and what's not. Good for that particular umpire suing the asses off of the pitcher's parents, also good for the state high school association for putting the school on probation and good on the NCAA for revoking the catcher's scholarship.
There is no excuse for that. That's the same as throwing at a batter's head.
Hard work, good mechanics, and professionalism make a great umpire. I don't tolerate STUFF either but I get the situation under control. I've had 25 ejections in 11 years. That is from NCAA to T-ball to adult slow pitch.
Teams respect me for my hard work. They know they can approach me and get an honest answer. They TRUST ME to get the call right even if it goes against them. Do you want to be known as a fair Blue or jerk with a mask?
Have you ever called a game?
Have you ever put on the gear in 100 degree heat and NOT get to sit in the dugout for half the game. Dressed up in 5 layers of clothes to freeze in 30 degrees and 25 mile an hour winds.
Even the worst umpires WANT to get the call right because we are just like you. We hate to be wrong about anything just as much as you.
How do you feel about a pitcher earholing u? Same thing!
