you r my hero!!

Yeah I kinda agree it is ridiculous speculation. Have I seen the BBH Umps make terrible calls in the past? Yeah but I certianly don't think that it is anything more than a bad call, which we have all seen at one time or another at every place our boys play. Collusion? Give me a break!

It does not mean they are intentionally doing it. If you are umping a game and in your mind you know your boss runs the team, don't you think you would have some unintnded prejudice for his teams. As an umpire it is a bad situation to be in, I blow this game and I get less games to ump. All may mean well but the preception is bad and when competition involved it looks worse.

Can anyone tell me what it costs for a team to play in boys of summer compared to baseball heaven for a season. league fees umpires and all costs.

I am sure the umps really care who wins these games, You guys need to get a grip on reality its just youth baseball no one really gives a sh..

SO PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT THE NEW OWNERS PUT UMPS IN PLACE TO FAVOR THERE NEW TEAMS?? GREAT BUSINESS MOVE DON'T U THINK? GIVE THEM MORE CREDIT THAN THAT PEOPLE,IF U DON'T LIKE IT DON'T PLAY THERE,VERY SIMPLE,GOOD LUCK TO ALL THIS SEASON!!

When your making money, you damn right they care, for just being youth baseball their are a lot of people out there making a good living, you can't downplay the relationship between the umps and BBH teams run by the same person. Are the new owner aware of this. Are they also aware his business support all there competition.

So how come there is never an answer about the boys of summer costs for summer season? It never makes it through or nobody wants to answer?

I agree, alot of people care about youth baseball because its a booming business. The amount money hitting, pitching and strength coaches make is crazy. These facilities have to be making a pretty penny and some organizations are making out like bandits too. Parents care cause their kids are playing and everyone else cares because the money is there to make.

For someone to even think this with YOUTH baseball, is crazy.

Teams are being developed (not to get calls from umps) but to give these kid the oppurtunity to train in their new indoor facility that is going on the complex, which will provide (those currently not on teams) the oppurtunity to train and play at the facility with professional instrcutors and coaches when it opens.

It's also going to provide other teams to play games and train during the winter as well. To even state what is being said on this blog is a joke.

Wait, don't they do this at other places as well, like Diamond Nation for one. They have their OWN Umpires & Teams.

Look at the big picture here. What's happening now at the facility is exciting for all involved.

Move on to another topic already.
