  1. Jim, Force 3 uses the plastic buckles.
  2. No cut them off and they are regular buckles.
  3. I have them on my force 3 shin guards and they work great. If you have the force 3 shins you will need to cut the buckles out of the straps as force 3 just loops the straps around the buckle and stitches it. You can also go to ump attire and buy new straps for 2.99.
  4. Anyone have any thoughts on honig's new side panel shirts? https://honigs.com/mlb-replica-side-panel-short-sleeve-shirt-black.html

    Honigs

    Well today is the 23rd, Honig's still saying they do not have my order in their system. I went back online and placed the order again and called back and still nothing in there system. I was informed today by the person I talked to that what ever I was told before was before they came on and they had no idea what I was talking about. It's crazy to me how poor of a company Honig's has become.

    I placed an order online over the weekend, today I called hoping to be able to add something to my order. When I first called the person I was talking to said I had not ordered anything since 2014 and couldn't find the order. When I gave her the order ID she said she couldn't find it,then found it in the "old" online system and it had not ported over to the "new" system and it was a good thing I called. So it sounds like there "state of the art" warehouse is still working the kinks out. The entire interaction was extremely confusing and I am questioning if my shirts will be done correctly. The customer service is not even close to what the people in MI provided. More suppliers need to offer non-smitty brand options.
  7. Why does he get 1 less? The rule says if the new pitcher exceeds 8 the prior pitcher can not return. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  8. Congrats on surviving your first game! I think you did right given the game situation and spirit of the rule. That said, I wouldn't tell the coach you went easy because he's never pitched before. If the kid had pitched before or if he came in and it was a 1 run game, would you have done anything different? As an umpire the less we say the better.
  9. By asking before making any call, you are 100% putting the call on the PU. Perception is they are making the call not giving information. If the ball beats the runner and you don't see a pulled foot.....out. If they want to question if the runner arrived before the ball they are coming to you. 90% of the time non-issue...5% not 100% but no one questions...2% we're not 100% but we're right and they question...2% we're wrong but no one questions...1% we're wrong and we change the call. You want to go to your partner 10% of the time for a 1% (at most 3%) problem.
  10. What matters is everyone is wearing the same color and all base umps wear the same. We have umpires who are still using the old zip up +POS shirts here. You really can't call them navy any longer because they are so sun faded. We just switched to black for state and regional finals here, so maybe there will be some new shirts purchased.
  11. By rule ejections can only happen at the end of playing action. If a player does something during the play i.e. says something to the home plate umpire, they can be ejected until the end of the play. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Balk or not

    No balk, so long as he's throwing to F6 to make a play on a runner.
  13. To me the catcher is guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct. He leads with his helmet and was running at the runner with intent to make exsessive contact. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  14. Here's a photo of the throat protector on my Mizuno Mask. The one thing I would say surprised me was how light it is.
  15. I've used the Douglas chest protector. Very low profile, however that comes at a cost. There's a gap where the shoulder cap meets the protector. After a fastball from an American Legion pitcher found the gap I now have the system 7. I know people have contacted Douglas and they put a plastic piece over said gap, having seen one it's no more low profile than a Wilson with it added.
  16. I was looking for the old school single bar mask.
  17. Anyone know of a Riddell mask for sale?

    Test Question

    The set position is defined by foot placement on the rubber. The Set is when the pitcher brings his hands together and stops.
  19. I ordered last year and it took 7 weeks to get it no contact from anyone.
  20. I had it happen this year. Top of the first three pitches three outs, all ground outs first pitch swinging. Top of the second lead off batter gets a base hit first pitch swinging, next batter hits a popup in foul ground just behind first base on the first pitch, its caught by the first basemen and the runner was running on the pitch gets doubled off. Next batter grounds out 4-3 on the first pitch. 6 pitches 6 outs.
  21. I think this falls under the path of least resistance on a pitch that is just flat out uncaught. Every defensive manager and coach thinks that a ball that gets by the catcher must be a ball (outside or inside) because their catcher wouldn't let one get by that was over the plate. The offensive manager doesn't care because you called the pitch a ball. Call that pitch a strike and the offensive manager going to be thinking the same way as the defensive manager and as the plate umpire your going to hear about it.
  22. As long as the pitcher stepped toward second base there's no requirement on how the pitcher disengages the pitchers plate. Legal play.
  23. Where did you order the Mizuno from?
  24. descriptions please That's not a Nike frame. That's a Wilson New View Titanium frame. Whoever told you or sold you that as a Nike frame took advantage of you and took you on a ride without lube. I hope you didn't like it. Nope not a Wilson, no one took advantage of me. I paid 68.00 for it from baseball savings. You can also get the mask from homerun monkey but its more money. http://www.baseballsavings.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=41798&PROD_ID=26799148&CID=MC&CP=KNC-g5&CID=KNC-g5&LNK=ProductListingAds&SITE_ID=B0019&LNK=MC-GPS&mr:trackingCode=8DE0D028-316E-E111-9F3C-001517384908&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla
