Ump here. The HS season is SUPPOSED to start today, but obviously with Weather Armageddon upon us this afternoon, my varsity game tonight has already been moved to next Wednesday.
Right now, I'm due to do a JV game on Wednesday and a varsity game on Thursday in Loudoun. On Friday, I'm at a private school in DC. Saturday I'm doing a USA tournament, Sunday I'm calling four doubleheaders.
Last week, I called a varsity scrimmage on Monday, a varsity game on Tuesday, and we got the top of the first in at a scrimmage on Wednesday before lightning struck and the heavens opened up just before F1 was about to throw her first pitch in the bottom of the first. We joked with the coaches that we'd change the rules and judge dolphin kicks rounding first base.
Did the USSSA tournament this past weekend, too. It was chilly and windy, but playable. Lot of teams shaking off the rust. Umpires shaking off the rust, too. And feeling very achy and sore the next day LOL.
Where we are (Arlington) HS season started two weeks ago. DDs games have been rained out. And there's so much rain already today I bet fields are unplayable until Wednesday at the earliest, probably more like Thursday.
