I hate when this happens 😩

Outfield umpires only have fair foul on balls that land behind them

OK. I’ve officially entered bizzaro world, where people I thought knew more about umpiring and umpires are commenting like they’re run of the mill ignorant Facebook posters. Ill see myself out.

I'm looking for those several pitches that missed by 4+ inches. Yeah, he called a bad high strike early...and one in the 16th. none 4+ inches off...I'm also looking for those ball calls on pitches entirely in the strike zone.

That may be worth a try. Thanks.

The only way you can pick from a windup is a jump turn, or a step directly to the base. if you have lifted the free foot in windup,that would imply you already took a rocker step to start the delivery, so, after that rocker step, you are obligated to deliver a pitch without hesitation or alteration. And remember...all this is OBR or NCAA...High school rules allow NO pickoffs from a windup position.

Any ideas if the this is repairable?

LC Ump has given you the correct advice. Biggest priorities Clear the catcher Follow the ball adjust for a play, and make sure you're out of the throwing lane.

We really need to see what you're talking about. I'm having a hard time envisioning some of this. Plus...Where are the runners? What are they doing?This will matter, as will what direction you start your free foot towards, what direction it lands in, and what you subsequently do with your pivot foot. For example, in #2, are you saying you"re picking up your free foot, and turning 270 degrees to throw to 1B without the pivot foot disengaging?? That would be one amazing right knee joint you've got there.

Let me know if you can do this for an hour and a half at age 75.

I saw this the other day. He makes excellent points. It’s reality of today’s music industry. Rock, as we know (knew?) it is almost 100% underground now.

You're not wrong. But there is good rock and roll out there. Prog included. You just have to search it out yourself. Here's a "newer" band ( been around about ten years). Southern Empire. I think you'll dig it. https://youtu.be/hNOPBWy_4g0?si=yRixgpYoJyVKTZJx

It's not a holograph show. It's Carl Palmer, with a bass player, and a guitarist who makes the guitar sound amazingly similar to Keith Emerson's keyboards. The bass player also sings, and sounds a lot like Lake. The large screen is full of clips of Keith and Greg. The large screen also shows a live performance of a keith Emerson solo from the glory years, and a Greg Lake live version of Luck Man. Carl is still an amazing drummer, and the show was outstanding. I highly recommend it for any ELP fan. Oh.. and you should have stopped listening when you got to "Love Beach"

Pretty much what I said last weekend

I'm thinking if you're lining up the runner with the touch of the glove, aren't we pretty much on the same sightline as R3? I'd guess if U3 thought F5 was obstructing, U3 himself would have been impeded on that same sightline and would have needed to adjust. Since U3 got the same look of the play as R3, and didn't need to adjust left or right, that would mean F5 wasn't hindering R3 either. .
