[quote name="westend1" post="1199057" timestamp="1332166170"] Lies?  Answer me this.  Is he allowed to umpire major league games at WELL?  Did he punch somebody at Ford Park?  Look, he threw the kid out for wearing a bracelet.  I would have been very easy to say, "hey, i told you not to wear jewelry.  Get that thing off"  But no.  He had to toss him.  I am not condoning a fan threatening an umpire, and frankly, i have not seem anybody condoning that.  All your name calling doesn't change the fact that the guy causes trouble wherever he goes. [/quote] As far as I know he is allowed at West End. Why wouldn't he be allowed? Because he ejected a jack-a$$ of a coach for mouthing off? Yes, he punched a fan who ran onto the field immediately after a game and threatened him. The fan was convicted, the umpire wasn't. Where else has he caused trouble? And by causing trouble you mean following the rule book? No, you all just want to play by your own rules.

[quote name="Yep" post="1199055" timestamp="1332165966"] Ok Hey Now read slower, I said he was asked to not to ump at Lumberton and banned from Ford Park for assaulting a coach. As far as lying goes I can only tell you what I SAW at Ford Park, and when you knock a coach that is not looking at you unconcious, I would classify that as assault. [/quote] Once again you are lying. Give it up.

[quote name="westend1" post="1199048" timestamp="1332165278"] Actually, my kid plays for Brook.  But the point is, this crap seems to follow this guy everywhere he goes.    i know him and I personally kind of like him, but he needs to find something else to do with his spare time.  You don't toss a kid for wearing a rubber bracelet.  Sorry.  that's just poor judgment. [/quote] You don't want to play by the rules? NFHS rules state no jewelry of any kind. First offense is warning, second offense is immediate ejection. Should your team get 4 strikes and the other team 2 strikes since you don't want to follow the rule book? And you say this crap follows him everywhere. Please list the incidents "everywhere". And don't make up lies like yep was. Do you think it's ok for spectators to physically threaten an umpire? No wonder kids these days think rules don't apply to them. Just look at the parents.  ::)

[quote name="Kdawgs123" post="1199004" timestamp="1332140355"] [you realize only one of the people saying stuff bad about him was a Kelly fan right? there are people from all over the area commenting on this saying the same thing. i wasnt at the game but sure seems like this ump has a bad rep and for viable reasons. [/quote] People from all over? Hmmm? westend1? probably Kelly fan. bmtbaseball? probably Kelly fan. Yep? no idea but guessing just an idiot. Yeah, that's from "all over". You mean "all over west end of Beaumont". But lets get back to the original point. You all are mad at an umpire for ejecting a potty mouth kid and one for wearing jewelry after having been warned. But the umpire is the bad guy.

Yep, You are nothing more than a liar. He did not assault a coach at Ford Park and he was not banned from Lumberton Little League. Quit spreading lies for your personal vendetta. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Yep, You obviously have a bias against this umpire. You claim to be an umpire yet you continually throw this person under the bus. Your obviously not much of an umpire. He is not banned from Lumberton as he called games this year there. He's not banned from West End or anywhere else. You just want to slander this person for some apparent personal vendetta. But I guess you think it's ok for a Kelly [u][b]Catholic[/b][/u] High School player to continue to cuss after being warned (I'm sure Kelly's priest/head master wouldn't approve). You think it's ok not to follow NFHS rules and allow players to wear jewelry after they have been warned. Guess you think it's ok for the freaking trainer to confront an umpire on the field. And I'm sure you think it's perfectly fine for spectators to threaten an umpire with physical harm. I know this umpire and he is a very good umpire. He has only ejected 2 coaches in his career and both times it was completely warranted. I don't know a single professional umpire that wouldn't call games with him. He knows the rules and follows them. Guess you just don't like having to play by the rules. Oh, but I forgot. It's Kelly. You want to play by your own rules. You feel entitled to every call and to look the other way when it's your team committing violations. That's what you all call "discretion". So before you all keep running your mouths, take a real close look at what really happened. Maybe instead of trying to throw the 1 adult in this situation under the bus, you should clean up your kids' mouths and teach them the rules.
