In this week's podcast we'll be talking to John White of Umpire Placement Course just before his visit down to Florida. He'll be working with students out of both professional umpire schools for placement in the West Coast League, among others, in 2019.

Next, Brian R. Hertzog talks briefly about a camp that he's been looking forward to putting on in the weeks to come for Northwest Baseball Umpires Association (NBUA).

Last, we'll fact check Alex Rodriguez and his claim that Rockies Manager Bud Black "has a good argument" in wanting an extra base than the rule book prescribes for a batted ball logged in Wrigley Field's infamous ivy.
