Ump Hit w/Pitch on Purpose?

Reader's Digest version...one team feels they're not getting the calls, so does the pitcher and catcher team up and bean the ump?

I saw this a few weeks ago. It was definitely planned. Still hilarious.

Where's jcarter? He umps, I wonder what he has to say.

If I were an Ump I'd tell them that I'd have to call balls and strikes from behind the pitcher's mound like they do in Little League before the cathers learn to catch. Fuck 'em.

Very disgusting!

I actually had this happen to one of my mens fast pitch umpires when I was still the state umpire umpire in chief.

I suspended both the pitcher and the catcher for one year. No appeal.

Unsportsman like conduct to another degree! It was obvious that the catcher missed on purpose. Both of them should have been tossed from the game and suspended.

Just like any player, some times umpires have a bad game. That does not give anyone the rite to do something like that. If this was because the umpire was have a tough game, trust me he already knows he has a rough game.

As a player learn what you are an arent getting from the umpire and go with that. dont fall to this low level of unsportsman like conduct!

Obsolutely horriable!

So, maybe they should just get rid of umpires all together and institute cameras to call balls and strikes? =P

Ya, and since players make errors too, lets just get rid of them and have pitching machines and batting machines.

I think sfu was joking jc, hence the little tongue sticking out smiley at the end.

But, since we're on the subject, what are your thoughts on MLB possibly instituting instant replay for fair/foul over the fence calls?
