I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.
Leo Durocher
We try to treat the kids like pros with free food catered during our tournaments, a gift bag with a sweatshirt or jacket and (provide) ball boys and girls for the finals with a PA system so the chair umpire can call score on center court.
Ryan Wolfington
I am the batsman and the bat, / I am the bowler and the ball, / The umpire, the pavilion cat, / The roller, pitch, and stumps, and all.
Andrew Lang
The umpire called him out at home, but I thought he was safe.
Bill Beckwith
I can't remember his name, but he said that Cal was the best balls and strikes umpire in the game.
John Drummond
I would need to see it from where the umpire was standing. But if he sees him [Locklear] restricting that player from getting to the quarterback with his arm wrapped around him, then he can call a hold. As I remember the play, he got his arm around the neck, so by the letter of the law that's restricting, and it's a hold.
Jim Tunney
Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.
Madame Dudevant
I couldn't tell. I was watching and I know the umpire tried to make the best call he could. Fortunately, it went our way.
Tim Hudson
People love to beat up on the poor umpire. It's like its own sport.
Art Hernandez
We've moved on as a team. What's really sad about it, and I think everybody will agree, is that this umpiring crew is a great crew. We like this umpire crew. I've been listening to the radios and everything, and I haven't heard any really positive things about what's going on. ... He's done a great job. I just hope all this doesn't become nasty today.
Mickey Hatcher
Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile.
Christy Mathewson
It was a beautiful catch. She's done that twice this year, caught two of those sliding catches and popped the ball up (with her glove) and show the umpire.
Don Howard
You cannot be on the board of directors and also be doing investment banking work for the company. I don't care if he steps out of the room or not. You cannot be the umpire and the pitcher in the same game.
Nell Minow
We've moved on as a team. This is a good umpiring crew ? even the umpire that's gone through all of this. He's done a great job. I just hope all this doesn't become nasty today.
Mickey Hatcher
It's not like football where the officials take two or three minutes to review the call. The umpire sees it in 10 seconds, so it doesn't disrupt play at all.
Brad Gilbert
The umpire did the best he could, but some pitches were so far out. You can't call balls one and two feet over the batters head strikes.
Bob Tomlinson
The wrong umpire made the initial call. That's the plate umpire's call. I had it lined up. It's my call, and I had him leaving early and called him out.
Bob Davidson
It's not a pretty sight at the beach. But it only hurts when I go skiing. I'm less than 100 percent, but I can make a pitching change and argue with an umpire. And that's all I need to do.
Bobby Valentine
Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it.
Red Barber
I look at the grand final last year: the three umpires that umpired that game were outstanding. I think on that particular day, it was a case of, 'we know what the rules are, we know what the fans want to see, we know how we want to umpire it, let's just stick to those three principles'.
Paul Roos
When I hit the ball, I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it.
Bucky Dent
I know that she does it and that's her way. I was not too much asking the umpire to speed things up because I know it's her way, but still, I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server.
Patty Schnyder
His skin was pale white, he lost his hair, could barely talk, was coughing, and always had to go in for treatments. His assistants were basically running the team, but he would come to the games. He get upset at an umpire, and he'd try to get up and yell and he'd fall out of his chair.
Dave Benyo
The umpire didn't give me a pitch, the slider. Delgado hit a good pitch.
Carlos Martinez
I believe the judge, as an umpire, at some level has to be concerned with the integrity of the process.
Brian Wice
I have not seen the TV replays, so I cannot say much about that. It is a decision taken by the umpire and has to be respected.
Mahendra Dhoni
She'll be evaluated like any other Double-A umpire. Major League Baseball has never attempted to influence our decision.
Mike Fitzpatrick
How about our Dutch umpire?
Rich Rieker
Although I have sympathy for Ricky I cannot accept his move towards the on-field umpires as they made a move towards resuming play. He did not ask for the third umpire to be consulted but when he made that move and spoke to the officials I believe his involvement played a part in prompting the referral.
Jeff Crowe
Europe needs an umpire to ensure fair play between member states and to dismiss the cheats. The Commission is the only body that comes close to fitting that role.
Chris Davies
He's not wild. He was around the strike zone. It's just that sometimes the umpire doesn't give him what he wants.
Melvin Mora
That's a three run error on the umpire.
Cory Anderson
I just told the first-base umpire that he made his call a little too quick. It was a close, bang-bang play, and we all saw that the call was not the right decision. I just told the guy to let the play develop a little bit longer before calling him out or safe.
Stan Cliburn
I talked to the umpire afterward and we patched things up.
James O'brien
We played a lot of tough people on the road, played in some tough environments. We're used to it. We're gonna battle. It taught us how to battle, how to overcome a bad call by the umpire, how to overcome the mistakes that we make. We could've folded our tents early, saying we won (Friday). But in this conference, you can't give in.
Wade Simoneaux
Phenomenal. Ashley gets in a zone out there. She gets focused and if (the umpire) is going to give her the corners, which is the way it should be, it really makes her tough to hit.
Lori Miller
You had to pitch in and out, ... Then, the zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair. If you are trying to hurt somebody, that's different.
Juan Marichal
We didn't make him throw any pitches. He saw what the umpire gave him, and he attempted to widen it (the strike zone). That shows maturity. Put the stuff away and come back the next time around.
Joel Hawkins
The umpire was kind of in my way. I should have told him to scoot over.
Andrew Mccutchen
My curveball was actually a strike about 80 percent of the time. The umpire had a high zone and I think that helped me a little.
Jono Cornelius
More and more Georgians are anxious about this kind of taking of property. I think more and more Georgians are going to demand that the government not be allowed to abuse their power, ... Simply put, government should be the umpire and not the player.
Jeff Chapman
The umpire looked at me like I was crazy.
Mike Christensen
It kind of surprised me because I didn't think [the sounds] were that bad. I guess the umpire saw things differently.
James O'brien
My thought process going in, I told the umpire, I told all my coaches, we're going inside until we can't any more and that was our philosophy and I think it took a little bit of their aggressive swings away.
John Crumbley
It is a lot more accurate than the umpire.
Paul Hawkins
I didn't even, like, look at it. It was close. I was just going to do what the umpire said.
Jennifer Capriati
There were a few pitches, in my opinion, the umpire missed. That's when the rally really started. Instead of getting a strikeout, there was a base hit. There were a few like that.
Javy Lopez
The umpire told us that was going to be the last inning and that they were going to call the game. So we knew we would win if we could hold on. They came through with some big hits at opportune times.
Ann Munzenmaier
This was only the fifth or sixth game I worked as the sound guy this season. There is disc or recorded bits and I just played what's on there. I didn't want to cause any commotion. If I knew the umpire would get mad, I would have stopped.
James O'brien
In case of dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field.
James Naismith
Their guys were swinging the bat, but the umpire had a strike zone I liked and things were working for me out there.
Corey Macdonald
It hit my glove and the ball came up. The umpire must have thought it hit the ground but it hit the tip of my glove and came up.
Adrian Brown
We hit a few hard right at them. The strikeouts were a lack of discipline on his balls in the dirt. (Justice) understood where the strike zone was and used it. We were too content to argue with the umpire rather than make adjustments.
Pete Southall
After the game the plate umpire said Valle was around the plate with every pitch. He pitched well, especially for the climate.
Patrick Mitchell
The umpire told me that he had been chirping the whole game.
Ted Shipley
I have now discussed the incident with the chair umpire concerned and we have agreed it will be in the best interests of both parties if he takes no further part in the event.
Alan Mills
I heard the umpire say, 'You better get going.
Corky Miller
It's hard to describe the sense of pride. You're there for his athletic skills, but you also realize your son is a quality human being. The head umpire told me he was respectful and very kind, even under pressure. To me, as a father, that was as good as winning the World Series.
Frank Rodriguez
I knew he was trying to hit me, ... I asked the umpire to do something about it, but he did nothing. Our coach came out and asked him to issue a warning, but he didn't. The umpire did absolutely nothing about it.
Andy Van Slyke
Personally, I thought it was probably uncalled for, but the umpire thought it was the right thing to do. We couldn't believe he got ejected.
Matt Laporta
My behavior was completely unacceptable. I want everyone to know that I recognize that it is never right to throw a bat and I certainly never intended for the bat to make contact with the umpire.
Delmon Young
He did not ask for the third umpire to be consulted, but when he made that move and spoke to the officials I believe his involvement played a part in prompting the referral.
Jeff Crowe
The ball was foul, and you could see the mark where it hit the ground on the other side of the base. The umpire called it foul and changed his mind.
Mendy Cole
I thought the (seventh) game was finished and when I askedthe umpire, she confirmed it, ... Then they started counting the points and nobody could rememberthe third one, so in the end it looked like it was all my fault.
Shinobu Asagoe
The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game.
