Could This Home Plate Ump Care Any Less About His Job?

This is a perfect description of how I imagine Larry Leo doing his job.

In his defense, it looks like he tries to adjust in to the slot at one point and he grimaces. My bet is that he is having back pain and didn't want to cancel the game.

Wait wha? I see umps all the time put hands on their hips, doesn't mean they hate their job or sport. You go stand in 1 spot for 3+ hours and barely move.

I have no idea what you're talking about

All fun and games till he gets drilled in the pecker

We should all go to the filmers job and call him out for sucking as his job. What a loser

Maybe he's like...they didn't take time to put a batters box..so I'm gonna....

Filmer is jealous he was cut in the last spot for the job

I’ve never understood how they can be so inconsistent. Keep it between the knees and below the letters, while picking a spot on each side of the plate that is the same for both pitchers no matter if it’s a bit outside. Everyone can adjust to the ump as long as he doesn’t change his strike zone. The one exception is the batters stance, and if it’s abnormal then the ump could easily tell the batter he’s not shrinking the zone bc he’s in a ridiculous squat.

Good. An umpire who doesn’t have to act like a clown out there. All umps should be like this guy.

A good way to get an umpiring injury.

This is how little action is involved in the game of baseball where the ump can just stand there as the game unfolds.
