SH*TTY FU***NG UMPIRES

Where the f**k do you find these f**king idiot umpires who have no clue about the rules? How do you go to a review stop the game for 5 minutes to come back and say that the play is not reviewable? Let me know how the f**k that was a balk on the bc state pitcher Ryder garino? Even the fsu broadcasters have no idea wtf is going on. And don’t even get me started on the floating f**king strike zone we’ve had to deal with all weekend. These guys f**king suck so bad and should not be umpiring acc baseball games where kids are competing to keep playing baseball! It’s f**king ridiculous how awful your umpires are. They have no clue at all about what is going on. It’s a f**king clown show on the field.

Back when I was 299 pounds, umpiring was a whole lot harder than it needed to be.

I loved being out there — whether I was behind the plate or covering the bases — but the hardest part wasn’t making the calls. It was trying to keep up with the game without running out of gas before the last inning.

One day I decided I was tired of feeling that way. I committed to changing my habits, eating better, and getting healthier so I could enjoy what I love without it wearing me down.

Now? I’m lighter, stronger, and I can move around the field without feeling like I need a substitute by the fifth inning!

And I didn’t get here alone — Gennie Benton Parnell coached me, encouraged me, and kept me accountable the whole way.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change, maybe this is your sign. Drop a ‘READY’ in the comments or send her a message — she’ll help you get back in the game, too!

When my wife decided to get healthier, it wasn’t long after that I decided to join her! I was really enjoying the Lean & Green meals and was hooked!! (Vegetable Quiche😉)

Almost 5 years later, we’re so glad we took that leap of faith and we’re still going strong!

I still stand by the claim that this program extended my officiating career! I was wrestling with the idea of giving it up due to the physical demands and my body wasn’t wanting to cooperate!

It’s not hard; you just have to start and stay consistently contending for the healthier life you want!

Message or call me if you’d like more details.
