They'll go on sale tomorrow. My new ones arrived today. Their PWs? I hope so! Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Wish their PW's were on sale

Agreed. About the only illegal pitches (no runners) I can envision calling would be: 1. Quick pitch. Though if I am alert, this should never happen as I am calling time and ensuring that F1 doesn't deliver for the safety of the batter. 2. Hybrid stance (Fed). Though I try to catch this in warm ups, if possible. Don't want to have to call it the first time with R3 late in the game. My issue was the pause during the wind up might throw off the batters timing considering he was pitching fluidly the previous pitches. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Agreed.

Thanks guys! Just thought I'd get some feedback. I might be over thinking it. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

An illegal pitch mAybe?

I tried uploading the video but was unable to. Pitcher has a normal delivery but stops completely on a called 3rd strike. Just wanting feedback and info guys. NCAA wind up position:

He was blocking the outside half which the runner wanted BUT that does not mean its OBS. He provided access to the inside portion of home plate which may not have been to the runners advantage but he did provide a portion of it.

Great deal and transaction with @acpar72 item was in great/new condition. Thanks!

Just like the others have said, carb up the night before, hydrate and take snacks. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a great way to keep you going between games and bananas. I usually do 4 on saturday and 4 sunday when we have tournaments. Use each game to work on something, staying down on balls, proper positioning and angle, plate stance, you know the little things. By the time you know it......ITS BEER:30!

I know what you mean, I took one to the old fat muscle on the second pitch of the game. OUCH! @JaxRolo and I sporting our 6 pack! Now this is FAT MUSCLE! Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread

Instead of starting a new thread...Make the call. Base runner hits a ground ball to F3 who throws to F6 (I think). F1 runs to cover 1st base but the ball never gets there. What do you got? Obstruction only? Obstruction with a warning to BR only? Malicious Contact? Just stirring the pot as always. If this video has been posted please feel free to delete.

??? it's what he paid for the Nike he posted about 2 or 3 posts above Still won't beat what I paid for mine!

Happened over the weekend....you might just ben an umpire if you blow your shoulder out on a strike 3 call My partner kept rubbing his shoulder during the game. I asked him if he got hit and he replied "my should popped when i rung up the shortstop in the 4th inning" hahahahahhaha

I use my own view of the pitch. If its at my mask obvious a ball. I give pitchers a baseball above the belly button. Its not called a belly high pitch for nothing. Batters may complain its too high. But its not too high when it ends up in the trees. Their elbows are a good indicator as well. As you already know, its easier to get away with inside and outside pitches than high and low. ITS A STRIKE TILL YOU PROVE ME WRONG!

Placed my order Monday and received my new poly wools Friday from the College Station store. Took a day for the debit to hit my account.
