100x this!

Agree. It would be very easy to say on fields with a grass infield stay off of the dirt.

Other things I need to talk about...there are loops on both sides (need photo) of the wrap around connectors that keep the strap from getting lost behind my back. I discovered that by accident when I was taking it off! The hooks are very simple, yet effective. The orange is a nice color combination, but in the dark, a lighter, contrasting color helps me locate where to clip my harness. Photo 2 has that coveted Douglas upgrade gap protector plate on each shoulder. The harness is unique. It never slipped and it was easy to adjust. (need photo) I haven't been hit yet...so either my time is coming or it's a ball repellant! 🙂 More to come!

Here are some photos of me wearing the GD D3O This thing is super low profile and light! More details to come! I forgot to grab a photo of the harness...but I'll post more later. One of my favorite parts about this rig is that I normally remove the pec pads because I'm always having to readjust them b/c the get in the way...I didn't have to do that even one time. They stayed in place the entire game and were not a nuisance!

I've seen this in a few spots on the interwebs... Two out, bases loaded and batter hits a line drive off the pitchers glove and starts to roll to 2nd baseman to make a play(my judgement) but runner directly in front of 2nd baseman is hit by ball - (not intentional) - A) judgment call on runner interference, the 2nd baseman would have made a play, runner out. B) no call let the play go on C) dead ball all runner advance one base D) obstruction on fielder - delayed dead ball Supporting Case Play: 2018 Interp SITUATION 11: With R2 on second base, a grounded batted ball deflects off F1’s ankle. The ball deflects toward F5 as he moves in to field the ball and he is run over by R2. Both R2 and the batter-runner are safe. Is this interference or obstruction? RULING: This is interference and R2 will be declared out. F5 must be given the opportunity to field this batted ball on his initial attempt. The batter-runner will be awarded first base unless it is judged the interference prevented the defense from making a double play. (8-4-2g)

Yep. I agree with this...which is why our umpires now earn full game fee upon arrival. Now...what that doesn't mean is that if it's raining sheets and it's going to pour for the next hour and you drive to the site w/o calling or checking in just to get paid...that's a no. We recommend calling/emailing, telling them that you plan to leave by x:xx, should I leave? Then yes...the other team paid a bus, to drive them there...the bus company didn't get paid 1/2 fee. We got sick of teams being unable to decide even though the radar that everyone can access shows rain all day...if you're incapable of making that decision, then you're paying us a full fee for our time.

Better this morning

Site seems slow tonight. Anyone else?

Play: Bases loaded, one out. F1 attempts a pickoff at first while engaged with the rubber. R3 steals home on the movement. R2 is standing on 2B while R1 dives back to 1B. The throw from F1 goes into the sleeve and subsequently lodges in the jersey of R1 while R1 is diving back into 1B. Ruling: NFHS, NCAA, OBR

The real MVP!

For sure. A smart coach will wait until R3 to say something.

"Bear down!!!"

RIP to the Motherlode. That was a good run!

Not a building contractor and I agree with you!
