Not sure if it is happening everywhere but, at the high school games this season the umpires have been pushing back at the talk from the dugouts. I have seen a number of warnings given out to other teams. Umpires have been instructing teams that they can only cheer on their own players and nothing derogatory should be said to the other team.

The umpires in TX this year seem to be focused on everything except the game itself. I have never seen so many umpires worried about what is going on in a dugout, where a player is standing, if a pitcher's foot is pointed 20 degrees as opposed to 45 degrees, and on and on. I have seen so many strikes called in the other batters box this year. One umpire even told our catcher he was calling white batters box line to white batters box line because "that is what they do in college".
