Perry gets an A for 2 nights later in Portsmouth Va, so much better than Raleigh. im glad i went to a 2nd show, the difference was night and day from Raleigh which i also attended.
@@stingerNWO Thanks so much for the update. Despite Perry's condition in Raleigh, I strongly considered hitting the road to Portsmouth to catch the rest of the band, but didn't unfortunately. I wonder if they told Perry on Wednesday,"We need to talk." :)
@@dmccallddsI always knew Perry was problematic logistically speaking because of the strong personality but I can’t imagine being Dave and Eric who are sober being submerged in Perry’s antics
The guy in the stands(the same one taking the video) is pathetic. How big of a loser do you have to be to call an umpire a bum and to tell him to throw himself out of the game from the comfort of your seat in the stands, especially when the play was as close as it was. I'm guessing the guy; a) never played the game, b) never coached the game, c) certainly never umpired. Coward!
The Umpire made the decision, no one else. We own the calls, which means you don't have to like them. Secondly, with video the play is easier to dissect and look over twenty thousand times. Whereas the umpire has a split second to make a decision. If those of you who want to complain, PLEASE sign up and show all officials what they are doing wrong. We are waiting!!!!
And they wonder why they can't find umpires . In my days of little league , parents used to come and watch the kids play . Today's parents are there to ras the umpires !!!
Man, if parents acted like that at any of my son's games they would be told to leave and if they didn't leave it would be a forfeit. Where is this that parents can get away with that garbage?
Start at 0:17, catcher is inside the left foul line; as the play proceeds the catcher is moving to field the thrown ball; at 0:23 catcher fields thrown ball; at 0:24 catcher glove is below the catcher's waist; at 0:25 catcher's glove is in contact with runner and runner has not touched home plate. GREAT CALL!
Very clearly SAFE! The runner's left arm is already past the catcher's legs when the tag is made. The runner's right arm and chest are, therefore, already on home plate before the catcher bends down to make the tag. S A F E
I’ll just say, that ump was in no way where he should have been. . It was a bang bang play, and positioning is the ump first rule to making good calls.
Also for me the catcher stands in front of the plate (left leg well outside the foul line) so he is blocking the plate before having the ball. So the runner is safe. Considering instead the timing of the tag, it seems that the tag is before the runner touches the plate, in this optic (only) the ump decided correctly.
Runner looked out. Too close to call for anyone in the stands. Loudmouth parent should get off their arse and apply to be an Ump if he/she/they think they can do better.
The plate is indistinguishable, the catcher's glove is completely obscured, and there is no basis for anybody watching the play on this video to dispute the call. I would only suggest that youth-team coaches teach players to *ALWAYS* slide feet-first into the plate, Catchers are well protected by "the tools of ignorance." Hands-first sliders are simply ignorant.
The runner did not clearly beat the tag. Catcher only has to give a path not a highway. My only suggestion to the senior blue is to move to where he does not straight line himself. I quit at 70 after 52 years because I lost my quick movement. This guy needs to, because looking old and slow, plus a quick bounce reflex, makes for long nights.
I umpired for 43 years in many levels and now retired!! I have to say that youth baseball has the worst scum adults attending the games!!! Parents totally suck bad!!! They have no clue of what they holler!! Yes,
Proof that being contiguous to a play doesn't necessarily give your the opportunity to actually see the play. Given how close to illegally blocking the plate without the ball the catcher was standing, the hand slid in before the catcher could have tagged at the earliest the back of the runner's head.
I slowed it down and it is hard to see the best resolution of the plate, but it looks like the catcher's arm came down to the runner before the runner got to the plate.
forget teh pansy posey who never learned how to block the plate without getting hurt, even though he played for years under a former catcher who got his ass run over in the 1980 nlcs, the catcher was making the play ergo he was perfectly positioned.
@@Joefloridaman He had to be in position to catch the ball which was thrown high. If he moved closer to the inside of the foul line he probably would not have caught the ball.
Had a call at second base the other day where I was in great position for a bang bang play at second. Tag was there a fraction before runner. Runner mumbled something and the SS said "c'mon, you were out by a mile". That was it. Then I hear from behind the backstop about 20 rows up in the stands "C'mon Dave! You gotta get that one right!" SS looks at me as he's tossing ball to pitcher and says "You're name Dave?" I said "unfortunately" and we both rolled our eyes and he smiled. This play in this video wasn't as even as close as mine. But obviously the drinker in the crowd had a conviction that the official on top of the play wasn't qualified to make his call. Hmmm, maybe we should always check with the experts in the gallery before making calls. I always say that one can see plays better from the stands. Not sure why they just don't have us making calls from there. Maybe its a matter of perspective? 🤔
Never ceases to amaze me that a parent who is 60+ feet away and at an angle has a better view than I do when I'm right there on top of the play. It's why I quit. I love the game, but the patents have ruined it. They act like there kid being called out will cost them a college scholarship or keep them off Sports Center.
