Most assuredly those little t*rds did that deliberately. Why else would the catcher duck? He’s fully protected and, at that level of baseball, used to standing in there. I say throw them off the team.

The Battery (Pitcher and Catcher) did it right…they waited until there was a runner on second base and the Catcher will use different signals, like subtraction, addition, first sign after one finger, etc.
Cross-ups at that level happen all the time and even in the Majors.
Those Kids have the perfect alibi.
June 11th, 2008 at 12:52 pmBTW, yeah…they did it on purpose
June 11th, 2008 at 12:54 pmThe way the catcher dropped away, delibreate. Yank thier scholarships, now!
June 11th, 2008 at 2:37 pmHard to determine. The catcher almost seemed to drop to body-stop a low ball. Very odd however. Even still, the ump had protection that would stop a 120mph fastball. Might wake him up, but not much more.
June 11th, 2008 at 7:36 pmAnother point…the catcher only had to NOT raise his glove to insure that the ump got whacked. He didn’t have to drop down if the intent was to hit the ump.
Besides, how many pitchers at the high school level have enough accuracy to hit a man’s head with a fastball on that one opportune throw?
Now, I will call it an accident…
June 11th, 2008 at 7:40 pmDeliberate. No doubt about it. Either the catcher had an epileptic fit during the pitch or was making sure he didn’t get in the way of the ball.
June 11th, 2008 at 7:59 pmGuilty as charged.
June 11th, 2008 at 8:18 pmI have seen or have been involved in more than 15,000 baseball games in my life. I have never seen that before and that sure looked like it was done on purpose.
on purpose, yes, but who cares the ump probably sucked and deserved it , not to mention hes wearing a mask, and wasnt hurt at all, its just a simple way to show him your pissed without hurting anyone
June 12th, 2008 at 5:49 amJake,
