On MLB.tv there is a setting for the audio to be set to a setting titled "PARK" Essentially this audio setting features the video of the broadcast of your choice but as for the audio, you listen to an on-field microphone. It's a good tool if something happens at the plate (like this) where you want to listen in. How do I find this setting? That'd be great to hear some things that are said on field. I found the video but I only have the option of turning the volume up or down. When in the MLB.tv browser, On the left hand side of the time bar will be an option, click that. You will then be able to select audio and video options depending on what is provided. Sometimes it's not provided.

Good stuff Jesse, thanks! Anytime!

I looked this clip up on MLB.tv and listened to "PARK" audio. Nelson on the second balk: "That's a balk.....He didn't stop. That's not a stop. That's not remotely close to a stop. That's not a stop. I've been telling him all night that's not a stop." Colorados dugout just looked at him.

Do you guys know what socks the pros wear?

Yes, to go along with that: The diamond is the only place in my life where my mind can rest and just focus on the task at hand. The only thing that matters is the next pitch (or the next F-bomb)...

if it was Scully calling the game, I'm sure the word "fertilizer" would come up somewhere!

Someone once called me "umpie" It was terrible.

Played mens traveling fast pitch until I was 24. Go watch one game and come back with your answer. I'm joking, softball is a fantastic sport.

It kind of reminds me of this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/15/hes-just-a-little-boy-baseball-sign_n_3280044.html

Do they even keep score in softball?

If you're doing it for the money, you're doing it wrong. Man up and pussy out.

Amen.

Stan, Read the whole thread. A few of the umpires that replied were implying that I was sitting at the fence chatting with the fans. I understand that it's good advice to not listen to what goes on outside the fences. But when someone throws something out there and I'm not 100% on the rule I'm going to file it away and look into it. I did not do anything wrong, I did not respond to the fan at all. I never even implied that I did. But for some on there their first instinct is to assume the worst and then criticize. The fact that you heard him means you did something wrong
