Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

She did a great job. The umpire, she kind of had a tight zone and (McGowan) adjusted a lot to the umpire's zone. (McGowan is) just strong out there. She doesn't let anything get to her, so we can count on her for that to be consistent throughout the game.

I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.
