The All Stars are lighter than the Douglas, but when I get my Douglas back from Jeff who is fixing them, Those will again become my primary leg guards.

Who cares the reason, a bean ball is a bean ball. Any reason doesn't make it okay. How can you suspend a guy who simply did something that's been around as long as the game?

We all know it was intentional. I also think that it is dumb that he got suspended for saying it was on purpose. The bean ball is as old as the game.

Just hit the button, it always feels better to say yes.

I've heard the National guy say it a bunch of time already....the umpires have one look at it at full speed...if it takes us 2 or 3 looks as super slow motion, then we have to go w/ the umpire's call at full speed. I give him major props b/c he is right on the money.

Nice complements = Charcoal Gray and Black.

I mute it when watching from work. Did the announcers say that too? Warren, yes they did.

There was a play earlier in this game that involved a tag at 1B where he took a nice read step and lean to see the swipe tag. Great mechanics on that one. I didn't see the above play.

I would agree with this. That would make sense.

Yeah, I've seen a few video clips of that group wearing the navy and I have to remember that it is the only D1 group in the country that wears navy. (That I'm aware of)

I need to remind myself to mute the announcers. Make up call. Unreal.

Had he at least attempted to go back to 1b, (ran into Aybar), I think you could get Type B there...good clip

Yes, they're right.

Now these videos are different.

See that's my point. Guys on here say it is part of the throw. In this case, it is not. It is a coached balk. The only guys I've seen who are able to pull it off are college pitchers.

He's not the only one who does it.

These are both double plays that U1 got right. What did am I missing?

Then they must have changed it back in 2012. I don't remember them asking PU to come up there in 2012

Sorry man. My advice would be to show up there in your uniform and work like a professional. Do what you can do because you don't have control over the other stuff. You have a long, long career ahead of you. Don't burn any bridges at 17 yrs old. You never know when you'll need any of those folks again. Hang in there.

I know, it's my own little annoyance w/ FED, I refuse to speak that language when discussing plays under the FED rule set. It's my own thing and I don't expect them to change it for me. :-)

I did get a reply from Childress. He gave permission for me to post his email. So I will post what he sent me: (in blue) It's a tough play. (Feel free to post this if you like.) My take: As you point out, the pitcher can feint a throw to second if it is occupied. He can also throw to second for the purpose of making a play. The fact that he didn't throw at once to F6 is irrelevant. He DID throw to second to make a play. They just didn't execute. Unless you blew the out / safe call (grin), there's no problem. The more difficult play is: R1 merely feinted a move to second. Now the umpire has to figure in whether the pitcher had reason to think it was a steal: How far did R1 get toward second? Etc. I hope this has helped.

Around January or February. At this point, I'd wait for 2013. This will also be a new rule cycle for NCAA in 2013 as well.

You might be right, but Hiler is still involved. (I'm assuming that's who TH is). If it is different, I'd imagine Hiler wouldn't want his name on an incorrect interpretation. Carl's book is not perfect. But it's pretty damn good.

Are they like Honigs? No. Are they good quality? Yes. In fact, after reviewing the +POS shirt, my next shirt purchase will be a +POS. I liked the length and the breathability of the black +POS shirt. Buy that one with confidence. Good luck.

uh. oh for him. Probably not a member any longer.
