7. Calling time after every pitch to readjust your batting gloves, helmet, or to readjust your ****.
wind blowin in, that **** kept hitting my legs... god i wanted to smack his ass...
This...
I have had several players get upset with me when I tell them to "get in the box". You are not Big Papi... no reason for this crap. Initial set-up... I give them all the time they need. Once the first pitch is thrown, you need to keep it within reason...
Here are a few things that irritate me as an ump:
Batters who take 5 minutes smoothing out the batters box and then roll the first pitch to short every time.
Guys who take forever to get to the box.
Pitchers who continually try to quick-pitch guys.
Hitters who piss and moan over every strike I call, even if it's a pure meatball.
Guys who keep trying to use the same illegal bat every week, even though I keep throwing it out every week. What, am I going to forget it was you trying to swing that Ressy titan in an ASA league?
Teams who win the coin toss and call home despite having only 7 guys ready to play.

Probably the best way to irritate an ump is it as him to atleast take a couple of steps from behind the plate to make calls on the infield.
Why bother? Every angle on the field seems to be a good one based off all that hollering I hear during the games.

Only thing that irritates me is when the magic pronoun "you" makes its way into a conversation about a call. I did not make the throw that pulled the fielder off the bag, I did not let one call determine how you play the game, and I certainly don't care who wins and loses.

Im a pretty mello person but there are a few things that irk me while i umpire:
1) your up 21 in the 4th dont screw around and pitch the score keeper, or play a 2 man outfield....show some respect for the game and the team you are beating and just end it.
2)lazy......the left fielders that walks out every inning and we all have to wait for him to turn around and get ready..
3)the outfielder that complains about every called ball..come one were did that miss?.....bro you are 250 ft away stfu.......
no matter what happens to the rules to make them idiot proof, ball players always come up with a better idiot
I have never heard a player say they have read the rule book from cover to cover
Turned you on that much ey?
This is probably the one that pisses me off the most:
When the batter reaches down with his bat and touches the spot where the ball landed when you've called it a strike. "No sh*t buddy, that's exactly where that pitch landed. Watch it again and see what happens!" u always want to say something like that but never do. But come on, don't you think we know where the ball lands?
