It is a Wilson modified….buyer beware..

The less experienced the umpire, the less information they can absorb in a post-game evaluation. Take notes and as the game is wrapping up make note of the three biggest things and focus on those. Make sure to acknowledge and support the good things, too no matter how small or insignificant. The more experienced the umpire, the more information they can absorb. I don't know what your association requires but, whenever I evaluate someone, in addition to doing the post-game evaluation for the assignors, I also send my partner an email with our discussion bulleted. ~Dawg

Its not April fools yet is it?

Funny, this also doubles as our definition for "rush hour traffic"

I see that California has a definition of malicious contact: "Malicious contact is violent, avoidable contact between two opposing players. It often occurs when a runner collides with a fielder in an effort to dislodge possession of the ball. Malicious contact can also occur when a fielder unnecessarily applies a hard tag to a runner. Intent and play situation must be a consideration in determining malicious contact. Hard contact is not, in itself, malicious contact."

Now a question... I wonder if I could do the same to a Force3 pad? I HATE leather pads! So maybe going somewhere to get it covered might work.

Lou, you must not know many umpires at all. … … … or you live in a “Navy’s all ya need!” state.

Was the plate just white paint on the turf? OR was it a rubber plate? The latter can get a little covered with the rubber pellets, and sometimes it's a way to talk to the catcher, or give the catcher or batter some time, or set the umpire's process in place

Sarcasm mechanic: well, since the plate umpire never but the ball back in play, it's nothing.

I have to laugh at the idea that runners at the amature level have a clue about what the foul tip mechanic actually means. Tim
