that was good..LOL

How true is this statement.... Especially Joe he really needs to go. has anyone figured out what kind stance he has....in is in between the heel foot and modified scissors ..

that is a lot of reports to write...LOL

yes he did touch him, But did he assist him? That is the question you have to ask yourself when your umpiring, Heck the 3rd base coach touches guy when they hit a homerun can we call them out as well? you have to understand the intent of the rule, not just reading it.

I have watched this about 5 times... I can't see where Marquez saw this happen, his head is looking for the ball, and he didn't point as soon as it happen either. I think he missed this... this is a really hard call for us to make, especially for the last out of a game. And for the record I'm a Mariners fan...LOL

Don't get me wrong, I did like the Gold, just not the bulkiness of it... Maybe im just to stupid to wear something else.. But i only wear my Douglas..BTW I won on ebay a few months ago a original West Vest by Douglas.. waiting to ear that one.

If you only got to meet me in person.. that is why I got in trouble in the Army.. I have always told it like it is...LOL

only on cloudy day away games BTW...LOL 4 man is easy when your working it everyday like those guys.. I used to think the same for 3 man.. till i started working it a ton.

I like the way it looks with my shirt on... I don't look like a Linebacker with my douglas on.

you are right.. the crew can pre game this.. but if it was a 3-2 count then PU would move to 3rd.

In lower level ball, that is a good pitch... but up there.. that is a little bit outside...LOL but your right don't draw a line.

ok.. I had a gold.. and sold it after wearing the Douglas...LOL

good luck with that.. But I would read all of the reviews on here before you make your purchase.

I took a knife and then a Lighter to burn the edges so they won't Frey.

You couldn't pay me to get rid of my Douglas... I had a West vest Gold and sold it after wearing my douglas... I work College DII and some DI those guys throw hard.. been hit and I was fine..

your right?... but in this story the tournament was a 13 yr old games..

how much you wanna sell that bag for.. and is it the 36" one?

A few of us Military guys really know the tricks...LOL I fold my pants once, and I have 4 pairs of the Honigs Poly wools in my bag, and then i Roll all of my shirts and jackets.. Try it this off season. You will be surprised.. I like it now as I dont have to carry but 1 thing into the locker room/ changing room.

I only wear the Easton Ultra lite Z blades... 30 bucks.. they weigh 1 oz.. yes that is right, hell half the time the dont even feel like they are one... They make them in a few colors.. I like the orange lens for behind the plate..make the ball stick out a little more.. http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B002V2TK4M

email them.. Jeff Cook is the main guy to talk to. If you want to get one PM me..

What looks really ugly is them guys wearing the Jacket with the Polo Blue stripes and a red undershirt..

That doesn't look like the new Therma one.. i will agree with the wearing what MLB guys do.. it is just like the wearing a pink or red shirt... "hell no i wont wear it".. let see some MLB guys wearing and see if guys change there mind..LOL

OBS is one of the hardest judgment calls for a umpire to make, it all happens fast and too many umpires think of Big league baseball. IMO I thought it was OBS and a easy call to make even though the runner was safe.

this is good, I tried to tel some one that those new jackets were not out yet.. i do like the look of the new heavy Jacket.. the rest I do not like.. But cause I work mostly college we will be wearing these in about 2 yrs, if not sooner..LOL

+1.. close the thread, cause that might have been the worst or ugliest mechanic I have ever seen.
