  1. Met Dave Stewart last night. He was HC of the home team - 18U San Diego Athletics. Good guy - never said a word about any calls by me or my partner.

      I guess some guys like to big league you, which is too bad since they could set the best example out there.

      You should tell Rodney not to pull that bow and arrow routine when Trout and Pujols are coming to bat next inning...

  3. Just got an Arbiter notice that I will be umpiring in Anaheim Stadium (the Big A) next Friday! Wish I was on the dish, but can't complain!

      One of the schools has a relationship with the Angels grounds crew. Apparently, they help maintain the field at that HS. I may get the dish after all. My partner doesn't care if he takes the dish or bases.

  4. Disappointed with PlusPos. Ordered a mask on Monday, and just received the ship notification this afternoon (Thursday). I emailed yesterday and today with no response, and I wonder if it would have shipped today if I hadn't emailed about it. Maybe I am spoiled by Amazon because they ship so quickly. How fast do you expect a company to ship after ordering when the item is not backordered?

      Well, I guess I'm lucky for it only taking 3 days and 2 emails for it to be shipped.

  5. Does Honigs go to anybody else's association meetings? I just found out they're coming to mine and I was wondering what the typical discount on prices was for the meetings.

      They opted not to come to our HS meeting on Saturday.

  6. Great time with KFinn last night working the UCLA scrimmage. As a nice bonus, Mark Trumbo and Giancarlo Stanton took BP after the game. Looking forward to next week's game!

      Not sure I saw anything quite that long, but thank the Lord for L-Screens!

      Oh, and the most impressive thing about those two guys? Helping pick up baseballs and put away the equipment when they were done. Quality people.

  8. No umpiring for 3 weeks and then everyone wants you on the same days - what's up with that?

    1. grayhawk

      grayhawk

      That's very true. I was offered a good varsity DH that's the same day as our HS 2-man clinic. I don't have to go to the clinic since I already attended one, but it's not a bad thing to be seen by those that affect upward mobility.

  9. So can i get some Feedback on the Team Wendy Mask Pads and the NB Base Shoes.

      TW pads: Buy them, install them, wear them. Best pads ever.

      NB Base shoes - depends on which ones. I have the older ones and hate them. I hear the new ones are very comfortable.

  10. Good game tonight, my game has really improved since attending the Florida Collegiate Umpires Camp last summer.

  11. Got to have surgery on my foot. I will have a titanium joint! Hopefully I can run again by mid January!!!

      I hope the surgeon's skill equals your skill as an umpire. Oh, wait...

  14. Anyone planning on going to the Wendelstedt clinic in Covina, CA in November?

    1. grayhawk

      I traded emails with them in late July and they said the schedule would be confirmed in August, but the site still doesn't reflect that. It's possible it could be Jan/Feb in Palm Springs instead. Would rather do Covina in Nov.

      Did you work U-Trip last weekend? Was surprised Russ didn't get the IC appointment, but I wasn't there for the interviews.
