Podcasts about umpires

Here's something you'll rarely hear shouted during a major league baseball game: “Great call, ump!” Even the best, most experienced umpire will face constant criticism, taunting, and ridicule for every decision. Spectators only talk them if they are angry about a call that was made. Consider this. Does your son feel like an umpire in his everyday life– constantly surrounded by criticism? At school, is he teased by his friends? Do his well-meaning teachers focus on the problems he missed? At home, do you remind him of the chores he didn't do and the vegetables he didn't eat? Make it your goal to verbally affirm your son for the things he's doing well. He needs that affirmation more than you probably realize. To learn about the 5 critical needs of boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Under the New Covenant, God doesn't rely on external signs to guide you—He speaks directly to your renewed spirit. Andrew Wommack teaches how delighting in the Lord naturally aligns your personal desires with His perfect will. Learn how to cultivate a daily, intimate relationship with God and allow the Holy Spirit's inner peace to act as the ultimate "umpire" for your major life decisions.

We break down one of those rare high school football plays that sends everyone straight to the definitions section of the rule book.An airborne player touches a pass near the sideline and redirects it to a teammate. Is it a catch? A bat? A muff? A second pass? Legal? Incomplete? Illegal participation? We walk through the key definitions and why precise rule language matters.We also cover: Catch vs. possession vs. control  Batting and muffing a forward pass  Airborne players near the sideline  Illegal participation after stepping out of bounds  Why officials must work feet first, then ball  How one weird play can create major penalty enforcement consequences A great rules-study segment for high school football officials who want to sharpen definitions, sideline mechanics, penalty enforcement, and game awareness… and much more.

In this episode, we break down a post-play extracurricular situation and ask: is this unsportsmanlike conduct, unnecessary roughness, offsetting fouls, or just a strong talk-to?The discussion focuses on a key high school football distinction: UNS is non-contact; UNR is contact. We look at how officials should process shoves, possible kicks, players standing over opponents, and late dead-ball action without mislabeling the foul.We also cover: Preventive officiating after the whistle  When to talk vs. when to flag  Dead-ball contact fouls  Flagrant UNR and disqualification standards  Heat-of-the-game judgment  Why high school differs from college enforcement philosophy A useful segment for officials working to improve game control, crew consistency, penalty reporting, and high school football rules judgment… and much more.

In this episode, Patrick interviews Jeff Gosney, the new NCAA Division I Baseball Umpire Coordinator, in a conversation recorded for Referee Magazine.Gosney recently stepped into the role responsible for overseeing NCAA Division I baseball umpiring, including postseason selections and the continued development of umpires across the country. In this interview, he shares his background in professional and college baseball, how he ended up in the position, and what his priorities are as he begins leading the program.The conversation covers several important topics for umpires working college baseball today, including:• How NCAA postseason umpires are selected• The evolving regional and super regional selection process• The role conference coordinators play in evaluations• How TrackMan and pitch tracking data factor into performance discussions• The challenge of transitioning from three-umpire to four-umpire crews• Advice for umpires trying to move from D2 or D3 into Division I baseball• The potential future of pitch tracking and technology in college baseballOne message Gosney emphasizes throughout the discussion is simple: the NCAA is looking for the best umpires available, regardless of their background or path into college baseball.If you're an umpire working college baseball, aspiring to reach the Division I level, or simply interested in how NCAA officiating is evolving, this interview offers valuable insight directly from the person now leading the program.

Is this targeting at the high school level? In this segment, we break down a player-safety play involving forcible contact to the head and neck area and discuss why high school targeting rules must be judged differently than what officials may see on Saturdays or Sundays.The conversation focuses on strike zone, forcible contact, illegal helmet contact, spearing, and why “code creep” from college or NFL rules can create confusion for high school officials.We also cover: Targeting against a runner  Lowering the strike zone  Player safety philosophy  When crew members should offer help  Why officials need rule-based judgment, not personal preference  How to defend or explain tough safety fouls on film A strong segment for high school football officials who want to sharpen their understanding of targeting, improve safety-foul judgment, avoid code creep… and much more.

Hour 3 is packed with playoff drama and South Florida chaos as the San Antonio Spurs open the Western Conference Finals with a Game 1 overtime win over the Oklahoma City Thunder behind a huge performance from Victor Wembanyama, while the Montreal Canadiens also survive a Game 7 overtime battle against the Buffalo Sabres. The conversation then shifts to the ongoing Messi discussion as some Inter Miami CF fans grow frustrated with Lionel Messi for not acknowledging supporters, leading the guys to compare his approach to fan interaction across other sports. Things get lighter as Joe recounts stepping in as an umpire for his nephew's baseball game after no-shows, joking about a potential full-time gig but only under the right circumstances. The hour wraps with talk about whether Omar Kelly could handle throwing out a first pitch and revisiting the idea of a boxing match between Omar Kelly and Channing Crowder.

He was one step from the Major Leagues. Triple-A. The doorstep. Then he got cut.No backup plan. Negative net worth. Identity shattered.Most people don't talk about what happens when the dream dies. Jac Oujo did.In this episode, the founder of Oujo Wealth Strategies and author of Too Smart to Be an Umpire breaks down:⚾ The brutal reality of professional sports careers

In this episode, Jack Oujo discusses his book, Too Smart to Be an Umpire. After eight years chasing his dream of becoming a major league umpire, Oujo was let go and faced with the fact that his "Plan B" was now his "Plan A." The rejection could have broken him. Instead, he translated everything he learned from officiating into building an incredibly successful wealth management firm. The conversation explores how umpiring taught him to think under pressure, manage difficult people, and focus on process over results. Oujo explains why parallel planning matters when pursuing long-shot dreams, how to let angry people exhaust themselves, and why getting fired from baseball became the catalyst for building something greater than he imagined.

Jeff Passan (22:43), host of Sources Tell Jeff Passan, joins the boys to discuss the slow starts around the American League, if the slump could spark some early-season trades, and how he views the Mariners and Rays. Jeff also details how umpires receive feedback mid-game with the ABS system and the buy-in from veteran officials, along with Tarik Skubal's recovery process.

Starting over at age 30 with a pregnant wife, no money, and a shattered career dream could have broken Jack Oujo. Instead, it became the unlikely foundation for building one of America's largest tax-focused wealth management firms. Jack, founder of Oujo Wealth Strategies, relied on discipline, preparation, and relentless self-education to reinvent himself. Successful leaders, as he learned from personal experience, need a "Plan B" for when things don't go as planned. He also explains why consistent processes often matter more than lofty goals — and why trust and customer service became the cornerstone of his business philosophy.  Before entering wealth management, Jack spent eight years as a professional baseball umpire. As he notes, however, unlike ballplayers, most people don't get three strikes when it comes to managing their finances. [Be sure to pick up a copy of Jack's book, Too Smart to be an Umpire, here.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Episode 744 kicks off with new merch in the wild and the ongoing expansion of the “protect the children from the internet” playbook. Manitoba is floating a ban on social media and AI chatbots for kids with details still TBD, while the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee somehow managed unanimous approval on chatbot age-verification legislation. Utah, not to be outdone, passed SB 73 — a law that tries to pin age verification on VPN users and even bans sites from explaining what a VPN is, a move that will mostly degrade the internet without solving the problem it claims to address. Meanwhile, John Oliver finally unloaded on the AI industry, echoing long-standing criticisms: rushed products, acknowledged risks, and outsourced consequences.In the news, a U.S. Army Special Forces master sergeant was arrested for allegedly turning classified intel about the Maduro capture into a $400K Polymarket win, then attempting to cover it up in ways that suggest poor operational planning. Meta cut more than 1,100 Kenyan content moderators after reports surfaced that they were exposed to explicit footage from smart glasses users, raising serious questions about labor practices in AI pipelines. Google signed a Pentagon AI deal despite internal backlash while posting massive revenue gains, underscoring where incentives actually land. OpenAI, meanwhile, is juggling missed targets, a shift away from Microsoft exclusivity, and continued reputational hits around Sam Altman — including a widely criticized apology tied to a mass shooting and a fabricated Bruno Mars tie-in for his World project. Add in a failed retrial bid from Sam Bankman-Fried, rising volumes of AI-generated web content, and political interference with the National Science Board, and the signal is clear: incentives are misaligned across the board.On the lighter side, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns July 23rd for its penultimate season, and Ted Lasso is back August 5th, for better or worse. Jack Dorsey beat the inevitable Elon attempt to reboot Vine with Divine, reviving six-second loops with a decentralized backbone and anti-AI safeguards. Apple continues its slow AI rollout with new photo editing tools, while Google pushes further into data aggregation with wardrobe-level photo analysis. Hardware check: Logitech's MX Keys S lands as a heavier, brighter $119 iteration. In books, Peter Clines delivers with God's Junk Drawer, while Martha Wells signals that the Murderbot series may be nearing its end. The Dark Side with Dave ties it together with gun storage PSAs, Disneyland lore, Galaxy's Edge playlists, and a conversational detour through Super Dave, Martin Short, and the ongoing quirks of instant replay in baseball.Show notes at https://gog.show/744Watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/P3NOSXlCs9EFOLLOW UPNew Merch!Canadian premier wants to ban social media and AI chatbots for kids in ManitobaSenate Judiciary Committee unanimously approves AI chatbot age verificationUtah's New Law Targeting VPNs Goes Into Effect Next WeekJohn Oliver Just Took the AI Industry Behind a Shed and Beat It With a Pipe WrenchIN THE NEWSUS soldier arrested for allegedly making over $400,000 on Polymarket with classified Maduro informationMeta in row after workers who say they saw smart glasses users having sex lose jobsGoogle employees ask Sundar Pichai to say no to classified military AI useGoogle Signs Pentagon AI Deal Despite Employee BacklashGoogle Gives OpenAI 20 Billion Reasons To WorryOpenAI's Sam Altman apologizes for not reporting ChatGPT account of Tumbler Ridge suspect to policeSam Altman Caught in What May Be His Most Spectacular Lie YetOpenAI ends its exclusive partnership with Microsoft‘Never Talk About Goblins': OpenAI's Instructions to Codex Have a Weirdly Emphatic No-Creatures PolicySam Bankman-Fried Seems to Annoy Judge and Lose Latest Motion for New TrialDead Internet Theory Is 17% of the Way to Becoming Reality, Study FindsMatt Mullenweg thinks WordPress is in decline.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac recap and react to the Atlanta Braves winning their sixth game in a row after getting a 9-4 win over the Washington Nationals in D.C. last night in the first game of their four game series, talk about Bryce Elder having another quality start and bouncing back after a rough first inning, the Braves offense continuing to get timely hits, talk about Ronald Acuña Jr. getting a hit by a pitch twice in the game last night and having to exit the game early after getting hit the second time in the game where he got hit in the hand, and explain why they think Bryce Elder and the umpires last night handled Ronald Acuña Jr. getting hit twice perfectly.

-In a game that featured 2 rain delays---an 1 hour, 5 minute delay before the game even started and another 47 minute delay in the 7 thinning---the story of the day was home plate umpire Andy Fletcher's ‘stomach problems' in yesterday's Tigers/Royals game in Detroit-Fletcher had to run to the dugout earlier in the game and eventually had to leave the game after sprinting to the Tigers dugout to goto the bathroom and not returning….which led to the game going to 3 umps.

One study from 2018 found that Major League Baseball umpires blow about 14 calls every game. That's 34,000 bad calls every year. And it makes a difference. A blown strike call can decide a win or a loss, a championship or six months at home, wondering what could have been. And while umpires are about 97% accurate in calling balls and strikes, Major League Baseball has been considering something drastic. Something to take us up to 100% accuracy. They have a plan to replace human umpires with robots. Now, with an update! Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of 99% Invisible ad-free and a whole week early.

For the 2026 Season, Major League Baseball is using A.I. to call disputed balls and strikes, supplanting the Umpire as the ultimate authority on the field.

Filming on Easter Sunday, Tim Kurkjian brings us the All-Easter Team that everyone has been asking for—including a favorite of our former guest, Dan Patrick. Dylan Cease (a pitcher, of course) is the last to do something at the plate—man, do we miss pitchers hitting, don’t you? Tim also dives deeper into the difficulty of an umpire’s job, sharing a story that might just knock you off your feet. Jeff had a conversation with a 10-year-old that left him stunned—and after retelling it to Tim, let’s just say we’re feeling pretty good about the future of baseball fans. Jeff also breaks out the only impressions he knows how to do, and honestly… they’re not terrible, so we’ll take it. We even get to the important questions—like what shoe size Tim Kurkjian wears—and somehow make our way to Star Wars. Safe to say, we had a lot of fun this week… but we’ll have even more tomorrow when Hall of Famer Jim Palmer joins us once again.

The conversation takes a wild turn as the new ABS system becomes the story, putting umpires under the microscope and changing the feel of the game in real time.

They also break down how ABS is reshaping strategy, why arrogance versus analytics becomes a real question, and whether this is the beginning of a fully automated strike zone.
