"The game is canceled."
"Wait, why?"
"We don't have an umpire."
This seems like an unrealistic situation, but it's starting to happen. We're starting to see games with one umpire crew. This is not because leagues or tournaments are trying to cut costs. They can't find people to officiate games.
Is the problem going to increase?
Dave, Spiker, and Evan sit down to discuss the environment, the problem, and how we can all do better to support our officials.

The weight room can be a very daunting place. First, there's not knowing your way around a training area. Second, you don't want to do something that will hurt yourself, and third, intimidating human beings are walking around with their chest puffed out!
If you were like me, it took me a while to understand my way into a weight room. The unlock was when I started going to a performance trainer to get faster. We worked on running mechanics through drills and instruction, but they sent us to the weight room to see our strength coach at the end of each session.
During the strength session, the coaches showed me how to approach each lift, giving me the right lifts! I remember one of the coaches before each session told us, "Boys and girls, but this session in your memory, don't go through the motions. Look to understanding what we were doing, so you can do them on your own."
Great advice and you know what.... I still do some of the lifts they taught us. I've added my own sugar and spices to the mix, but the foundation was laid.
I view this interview as one of those foundational moments for a player. You have two experts talking about potentially a complex topic but explaining it in a digestible way.
We hope you enjoy the conversation with Justin Shal and Tim Jones.
