JDM always tough, JC is great pitcher, but got a streak of wildness I never seen before. Walked about 10 guys, then took off mask and didn't walk anybody. Game would have been much closer. But they will be there at the end of the season. They have guys who absolutely crush the ball. Worm got the hit that gave us the run rule.
Wish JDM and Shaeff the best the rest of the year, the games were a treat for the umpires as not an ill word was spoken (at least audible words??).
Both Umpires we had were good. Chris Carter and Butch Fisher. There were the usual snickering about close calls and pitch heights, but that's going to happen until the end of time as long as the human element is there to make a judgement call. We have to remember, these umpires won't ever say they are right or wrong, they say they called it as they say it and nobody can argue with that.
One of these days, Noah Kenny can invent a robotic umpire that creates instant replays inside its computer brain and then makes the call. But I guarantee you that somebody will still complain that its using illegal software that wasn't tested by Heels first.
