Only time it matters where it lands is if it lands in the stands.
guess so,must be a real bad pitcher
.unless it is mat ball.
Believe me when I tell you that it's a completely different game when you switch from player to umpire. Night and day!
the only prol with it was sometimes umping for people you know,they think your gonna be on their side with calls.yeah right,you don't know me to well,do ya.
will it make me playing have a different attitude as well? or will i get more frustrated at horrible umps?
depends on your demeanor.
I agree.... I would rather have a paper cut on my ballsak than play mat ball....
according to rich M and k mac you like that tho.
it also allows the same pitcher to throw an unhittable pitch that comes from behind the batters back and hits the front corner of the plate.... mat ball is horrible!
coming from a place that used mats all the time,and going to call strike,as a pitcher i like the call strike better now.if they would make the mat big enough to take in pitches that would get the corner of the plate(maybe 3" inches wider than the plate),than maybe.our senior assoc do it this way for our tourney's.
