Bizzare: Ump Issues During Rays-Reds Game

5
Vote

by user Tylersalt

From MLB.com comes this story of the ManRays - Reds game this afternoon.  The umpire behind the plate was struck by a pitch in the 6th and left the game after the end of the inning.  One of the other umpires ran off to get his gear so that he could continue calling the game from behind the plate, but he was unable to get back before the game started again, so for a while there were only two umpires on duty.  One of them called balls and strikes from behind the pitcher's mound.  Very odd, to say the least.

This is a quite common occurrence in Little League or other summer league games. I have both played in and myself umpired games from behind the mound. Same circumstances too, umpire is late, forgets his mask, stuff like that. Saw a minor league game a few years ago (in the days when there were only two) and the plate umpire got hurt in a collision at the plate and the other guy umped the whole game from behind the mound.
