Meh-Close play...anyway what's with the finger wag? I'm pretty sure he won't be teaching that one this fall to the up an comers!

I think it means he scared the be-Jesus out of it!

Agreed. Gotta laugh it off. Sounds like a crummy end to a LONG day which is probably the reason you felt the way you did. That's why cold beers after long days exist!

Worth every penny....

I was actually going for the non-scraper plastic model. If it gets muddy I ask a team for a towel...or bang it! : ) Listen I'm open to non +POS reccomendations for a plate brush but I'm looking for a non wood handle (easier to slip in the back pocket).

I give them an "atta boy" when they work hard to keep one off me, pick their mask up for them also, but generally leave them alone unless they are themselves the chatty type.

Joyce is filling in as CC for John Hirschbeck while he finished recovering from testicular cancer. He's on the DL and expected to return next year-cancer free!

A late boat?

Hey Warren, Since it is getting to be the busy time of year for camps etc, were you thinking of loading up the calender again? I bet if you put an APB out everyone can just PM you the whats/whens of the clinics in their area and it would be kinda neat to see everything out there...

First, I'm not sure I am good enough to miss a call on purpose. Maybe you are. I am frankly kind of sick to my stomach that someone would even ask this question. It's called INTEGRITY folks.

So I went on he +POS website tonight to pick up a plate brush, and when I click order it sends me to a completed order page with someone else's info! Intrigued, I looked up at the url and notice it is this format: https://www.pluspos.com/web/OrderDetail.aspx?id=X287 So I figure what the hell and put in: https://www.pluspos.com/web/OrderDetail.aspx?id=X286 And what do you know, someone else's order! Their website security is crap, as is their website in general. Anyway, just thought I would throw out a buyer beware. I think I will be ordering by phone tomorrow.

So his feet didn't move .......does that mean he's not relaxed? No it doesnt.. but to an evaluator it might...and the big guy in his area... like for the PU to step back and relax a quick sec. Sorry for the delayed reply. This was not any sort of eval type of scenario, and I was tired (over it?) at this point (Day 4 of the showcase) so no I didn't really move my feet between pitches. I just kind of "reset" based on where the F2 was setting up on the next pitch. When getting looked at by TT or any other assignors/evaluators, I do make an effort to stand up, take a step back while the action is relaxed, getting back into my heel-instep position once the F1 resumes the pitchers plate. Following the "on the rubber-get set-call it! we all have heard 10,000x I was being lazy in the clip....and deserved to be called out!

Well...it was a getaway day!

It was strickly a showcase put together for scouts, so the players were mostly rising seniors. They used a AAA stadium for the event.

One of my favorite things on U-E is getting to watch video of some other members working games. So I figured I would throw some brief clips of me up here in hopes of motivating some others to do the same.

Hey guys, Well I think I am done for 2012! I have not gone through and added it all up but I think I came in around 150 games. I know to some that is a joke but for me, its a record! I think next year I am going to shoot for working more towards the 80-100 number. Anyway, although I have been slacking on the posting anyting this spring/summer, I still have enjoyed getting on the board and reading what everyone is talking about. Big props to Trout for coming in and making a splash (have you seen his astronomical rep rating acheived in just a few months!?!), as well as to Thunder for taking all the time to post videos (y'all stop giving him so much sh*t for it if he misses ONE video! LOL) Anyway, I will look forward to joining back in on the conversation as we ease into the off-season. Best, C. Brown

Hey guys, Been away a little while. Doing a lot of games and just now came up for air. Has everyone seen and discussed already the new Reebok Zig Plate Shoes?!?

Thunder. I'm not a facebooker. Could you drop a photo of it in this thread for me amigo?

After what you learned about these two whores within 10 minutes of meeting them, why would you compromise YOUR work for THEIR approval? If you can work, you will get all the games, and big games at that, than you can stand. Stick to your guns, do the job as you've been taught, and stop worrying what these 7-game a day guys think of you.

For God's sake...do NOT do that silly, asanine (sp?), smithy mechanic of running around with a clenched fist outstretched to signal OBS as the play continued. Simply put, you'll look like an idiot!!!!

Undershirts? Hell No! If it's over 80 degrees, I am going bare back 100% of the time.

Any word on a NEW model Reebok plate shoes?

So can you explain to me again why IFF is NOT called in this situation?

Good topic though. Interesting argument indeed. If you saw it the way the coach did, you could absolutely put him on 3rd.
