    • Episode 74 - Mining the Socials

      Episode 74 - Mining the Socials
      Jul 16 2025
      We start off by talking about an umpire, Mitchell Huggins (known as "Uncle Mitch" or "Mr. Mitch" to the players), who unfortunately passed away from heat stroke while working a game in South Carolina.

      We then move to talking about a question from an umpire about starting in the "C" position and being blocked by the pitcher from seeing the play at first base when making a call.

      Next, we talk about a question where an umpire asked what he should do when coaches use profanity. And to finish off the episode, we wrap up with some show updates.

      Episode 73 - Situational Mechanics: CCA Section 7.7 (NCAA Mechanics)
      Jul 9 2025
      It might seem like talking about "situational mechanics" and then giving scenarios is doing "planned deviations", but that isn't the case. What we're looking for and talking about are situations that the manual just doesn't cover, not breaking and "doing your own thing" for situations that are covered.

      Almost every day across the softball world, something happens in a game that hasn't happened before. As smart as the umpire manual writers were, they couldn't predict and scheme out every possible scenario. So what we're talking about - with some manual-driven examples - is what to look for and how to think in order to be prepared and in position no matter what happens.

      In addition, we've given you all homework, so tune in and help us out. Many hands make light work and you can help us figure out a particular point of confusion.
