I'm fantasizing tossing her in the WCWS - legitimately, of course, on TV.

In 20 years of umpiring rec baseball, I tossed 2. One was a hothead kid every ump had tossed at one time or another. The great thing about him was his coach had to forfeit the game. He would tell his marginal kids to stay home so he wouldn't have to play them. Started 9. Oops, only 8. I turned to him and didn't need to finish my sentence. He shrugged and said, "I know!"

Did she do a bat flip?**

I've never seen a team celebrate walks more than Oklahoma.

This is not spontaneous. Nothing that happens there is. Patti . . .

It's still bush league behavior IMO, but can't argue w/ her win/loss record

I don't see her retiring any time soon. **

If I’m an ump I’m calling chalk to chalk and shins to letters

Except you wouldn't be working Oklahoma games the next . . .

Yeah but that ONE would be SWEET**

That Patti thinks of everything.

At $2,000,000/year she should, right? Not sure how much JD gets to be . .

Regardless, officiating is the one vital bastion of fairness and integrity.**
