[@aussiesurfer805]

umpire made the right call - it was clearly an obstruction by the short stop ... no idea what the coach was saying or doing because you couldn't see or hear it in the video ... though, it would need to be extreme for the umpire to walk off - surely the coach gets ejected before that happens

[@ILOVEUMPS]

I have been an umpire for a long time. My observations: 1. The first time the umpire confronted the umpire the coach is in the dugout and does not say ANYTHING to the umpire. She simply kicks a trash can. The umpire was looking for a reason to confront the coach. The coach was not the aggressor, the umpire was, and for no reason. While it may be she was mad at him. But it could also be she was mad at a player or something else. Do NOT go looking for issues to pick on coaches about. Let the coach be the aggressor and show everyone they deserved to be kicked out. Do NOT yell at a coach loudly from across the field. You are upset at them and accusing them of being unprofessional, yet you are being unprofessional yelling across the field. Simply walk over sad say what you need to say in a professional manner. You do not need to show a coach up like that, it is uncalled for and unprofessional. The umpire lost his cool. Do not lose your cool in an ejection. When you let the coach be the aggressor, they throw themselves out. You are just the formal notification they are gone. You are the one that HAS to maintain their cool at all times no matter what. If you blow up and show your butt, you are no better than they are. This umpire created a situation out of nothing. Coaches are going to comment on calls, it is the nature of the beast. If you can not handle the comments (as long as they are not personal attacks) then you need to find another line of work. 2. The 2nd incident..... You NEVER EVER run at a coach like that. Let me repeat NEVER run at a coach. I do not care of they dropped a MF on you in their comments.... you do NOT rush a coach like that. I still did not hear the coach say anything other than maybe the obstruction comment. That is NOT a personal attack. If the coach said you are terrible or something along those lines... then yeah... deal with it. This umpire held a grudge from the first incident, and it is evident. He was looking for a reason to get rid of the coach and it is obvious. The comment was not even close to being worthy of an ejection. And for the record, it was a good call on the obstruction. Only one fielder can be afforded protection when playing a batted ball. Both the 3B and SS were closer and had a better play on the ball. Therefore the SS can not be afforded protection. 3. The PLATE umpire suspends or ends the game, not the base umpire. And that is the last resort and should be avoided at ALL costs. This umpire completely lost control. He is paid to stay in control. He did not consult with his partner or anything, just ends the game and walks off and his partner lets him. Sorry, the coach was thrown out without just cause and the umpire threw a tantrum. This umpire would be sitting down for at least a couple of weeks if he worked for me and would most likely go through some training on handling situations. His actions in this game are totally unacceptable.

[@creativewritingtutor5788]

Well, it's a good thing that he doesn't work for you bases upon the cases as numbered by you above. 1. If a coach at this level kicks a trash can, an umpire is well within their right to warn them and ask them to calm down. It does not matter with whom the coach was upset. Allowing someone to act out is poor game management. 2. The umpired did not "rush" the coach. We cannot see how far away the coach was off camera nor how far away the umpire stopped from the coach. The umpire seems to merely be hustling so as to not take any unnecessary time away from the game. I see nothing wrong with his jogging over (which is not a "rushing" of the coach). 3. The base umpire can forfeit a game under certain conditions, especially given that he is the crew chief. Yes, he should have consulted with the plate umpire. Furthermore, we are unaware from this video what all took place prior to. And if you were a true, solid umpire, you would NEVER EVER... let me repeat: NEVER state that a coach was thrown out (or in this case, confined to the dugout) without just cause unless you were fully (110%) aware of the situation. I hope that you are not an assigner, especially one on a power trip. Unfortunately, in my twenty-one years of calling, I have run across people such as yourself that speak without fully understanding the situation and knowing how to properly handle them. God Bless!

The parents have the audacity to say, "What about the girls, is not fair to them." What a joke..... Good or bad umpiring. Doesn't matter. Some parents..... they ruin shit and take no accountability. Smh

[@amanchabra8947]

During my son's 14U comp season, we were the beneficiary of a close play at home (which after watching it back in slow motion, the ump called correctly). After making the call and hearing the groans and beratement from the parents of our opposition, the ump literally turned to bleachers and said in an assertive yet strangely calm tone, "I am standing 3 feet away with a better view of the play than any one else on this field. The runner is safe. If you have a problem, post it online and complain about it there. The people in the comments will tell you I'm right." I couldn't help but laugh and wonder how long he had been waiting and prepping for that moment.

The obstruction call was correct.

[@jamesong.a.7695]

Good sportsmanship is not rare, it’s as common as ever, probably even more so since athletes are deterred and incentivized by the fact everything is being filmed. It’s just that every act of bad sportsmanship these days is caught on film and like everything bad in the world we focus on it with a magnifying glass and make it seem more prevalent than it really is. Kids and parents like these are the exception, for every one of them there are 1000 good ones doing things right, which makes bad sportsmanship the rarity.

Regarding forfeits and who can call them, this is from the 2018 USA Softball Umpire Manual: "If working with a partner always consult the crew before declaring a forfeit. All umpires can declare a forfeit, but be sure to exhaust every option before arriving at the decision." In NFHS and USSSA, only the plate umpire can call a forfeit.

[@CV1989Colt]

It is really hard to pass full judgment here as we can't hear all of the audio or see what is happening in the bench. But, there are a couple of things to note to support the umpire. 1. First bunt the batter clearly pulled back well before the ball crossed the plate. Coach wants "Amber" to see if she went. Really? See if she pulled back, ask for a?? She gets a bit incoherent. Then you get the "Wow, really?" Yeah coach, really. Wasn't even a question. Watch the video. HA!!2. Not sure what happens after the second bunt. Strike called and apparently the coach kicks something. She was a bit defiant after. Showing signs of unsportsmanship. 3. Umpire runs across the field to warn the coach. You don't hear the audio but obviously she said something. Basically, she is doing it to herself and her team. I am thinking this coach may have a reputation that the umpires were aware of.4. Umpire makes the right call on the obstruction to the SS. SS was in the base runners path with no play. Umpire cannot award 3rd with the runner at 3rd not advancing. Runner is awarded 2nd safely on the obstruction. There was really nothing to argue over here. Obviously this coach must have been acting out in the dugout. Likely verbally and physically but we can't hear or see what happens.I would not have called the game unless it was multiple people acting out. I would have ejected the coach though and given a bench warning to the remainder of the coaching staff.

[@nickhegarty4644]

+CV1989Colt I agree 100%

[@dazedconfuzed6]

+CV1989Colt Thats what I was thinking, why didn't he just eject the coach because the coach seemed to be the only one he was talking to.

[@jumperguy9867]

+CV1989Colt - I disagree with your obstruction interpretation. The shortstop was coming in on a ball that was initially rolling in her direction. It can be strongly argued that she was doing so to make a play - which would erase any "obstruction" call. Still, since the runner cannot advance anyway due to 3rd base being occupied, if obstruction WAS called, it would be moot. I think the fact that the ball was actually fielded by the pitcher doesn't erase the shortstop's right to be where she was. The runner should have made an effort to avoid contact. I agree with you on all other points.

[@CV1989Colt]

+Jumper Guy SS had no chance to field that ball. It was a little dinker that immediately died. The runner has a right to the base path. Likewise the fielder has the right to field the ball cleanly. In this case, there is no ball to be fielded as it was hit too weakly for the SS to even charge. The pitcher fielding the ball was a result of the change in direction of the hit and the hit having no energy to even get past the mound. Pitcher fielding the ball is not a factor in why I would agree with obstruction. With the benefit of being able to watch this over and over again in replay mode, I could not overturn the obstruction call. I can respect your decision not to call obstruction. It is a judgment call.

[@christiantaylor4391]

+CV1989Colt The obstruction had no merit on her being out at second tho.

[@jeffreygunn3150]

I think the field ump may have been dealing with jock itch. It’s frustrating sometimes to deal with coaches and parents, sure, but you don’t call the game like that. Quite frankly he seemed more interested in what was happening in the dugout than on the field. From the small sample anyway.

[@jeremywyatt50]

Base runner should have been called out. The obstruction call should have only protected her going to 3rd. Once she turned around she was no longer protected by the obstruction call. Ump blew this one

Rules of softball dictate that an obstructed runner cannot be called out between the 2 bases in which she was obstructed. Call was correct.

I just thought she reached the base she would have had there been no obstruction (3rd).... Once she turned around the obstruction protection is over.

Yeah, as a former umpire(only up to about high school age kids) I too found that odd. Maybe the field umpire is older/more experienced, etc., and let the other guy call the plate, but I feel like he should at least have gone over and tried to understand, or diffuse the situation(or maybe he already knew what was going on and agreed with the other ump, or didn't want to look like he was overstepping his bounds and second guessing/controlling the other ump. But for the field ump to just call the game like that, and for the plate ump to walk off with him, that was just odd. I think the field ump either was having a bad day, and/or couldn't take it anymore(it can admittedly be hard to hear a large group of people talk the way coaches and oarents do to umpires, especially when you yourself feel like you may have made a questionable call, and already feel like an assholes about it.)

Let your kid play, cheer for your kid and their team and other than that stay quiet. Don’t yell at umpires or the other team. If you don’t like the umpire, I suggest you get certified and do it yourself since obviously you know better. “I was on my high school team I know the rules.” Oh Chad, sit down and zip it, no one cares.

I heard the field umpire say "play" The field umpire never puts the ball into play that's the plate umpires job

[@user-kd8mh7wh1g]

Did I get rick Rolled?

[@brucemercer7753]

Looks to me like the coach has been restricted to the dug out or ejected and will not comply with the penalty. But that is just an educated guess.

[@MultiTurbospeed]

If a coach gets ejected and doesn't leave than the game is over as a forefit

[@danseaton1074]

Count was 3 and 1 then another ball...why wasn't batter granted a walk?

[@airbornepimp]

because it was a different batter

[@sharonblevins3281]

Didn't want them to score possibly win.

Another UmpShow.

[@brianfox8200]

Was there a garbage can or not? I'm curious

[@lo-fiFromChicago]

The videos over and I'm still searching the comments for opinions.

[@callanreddington5540]

I didn’t hear a garbage can, I think she may have kicked something else though

[@IBegToDiffer200]

Well we know now who was hitting garbage cans.

[@nickeason5930]

Everyone of those calls was correcr

[@Bendecidochik]

Base umpire calls the game ? 😂 safe at second ? 💀

[@seantimmons5900]

You didn't see the shortstop obstruct the runner at the beginning of the play? Go back and look. See the umpire's hand go up.

“We need our money, let’s go”😂

dumbass. he said "we PAID our money..."

[@critter2]

you want to play have your coachs act as adults

[@matthewmultiplayer5947]

The pitcher at 2mins was literally terrible 😂

[@angelbonilla6673]

Why is the coach arguing that the batter offered at the first pitch?! Clearly she didnt.

[@critter2]

trying to get something for nothing this is nothing new

[@nasacollector3676]

Actually the player bunting CLEARLY offered and made an obvious motion with her bat towards the ball. Absolutely no question it was a strike.

[@theguywhoisaustralian1465]

Can the field umpire even do that?

[@russellbrooker2122]

Absolutely

[@MrCoachrobh14]

An umpire can't end a game like that... He is a moron. Where is this joke from? If he knew any rules he would have known he can't do that. I felt sorry for his partner.

[@haydenhodges34]

Actually we can.

[@goldenbear8250]

@@haydenhodges34 It seems to me that umps like you have a god complex. You tell others that the coaches and parents need to remember the game is about and for "the kids", and then out of the other side of your mouth find it easy to tell us that your authority is beyond question and demonstrate that you believe it is more important than everything else in the game. Good umpiring/ officiating is incredibly important at every level of competition, from little kids to pros. Ensuring fairness and order throughout each game should always be priority #1, but umps/refs should always remember that the games are about the players, NOT about about them.

@@goldenbear8250 You're doing a lot of inference there, my Friend. It's obvious you do not know me. I'm about as humble as one can get, but I know the rules.
