No balk

Extreme heat and cold will destroy the best made bats.

The bat is old and the wood is dried out.

They are saying that it's a "safety" thing. Pitcher is often times the best hitter. This way he doesn't have to play a position after pitching. This MN rule is relatively simple in dealing with the P/DH. It is not the same as NCAA.

Draw a line? No way! Saw a batter do that to start the game when I was catching. I told him goodbye before the umpire could get it out! The players know they can't do that.

I love the Leather Luster! Thanks for the tips Dave!

I'm calling BS. I've played on teams where the manager decided, "it's time to get tossed" to prove a point.

An honest attempt was made at a discussion. Some guys might speak before they think on occasion. I know I've been guilty of that. You tried. Sometimes with the "yeah, but" guys, it's best to just move on.

B. Send R1 back to 2B and BR back to 1B. R3 still has the rights to 3B.

Just checked out those shirts. There are a ton of different colors in the new pro style.

Forgive me for my snark. It just seems like it's been answered a number of times. What's the award for OBS in FED when F3, without the ball, blocks runner on a pickoff? Runner wasn't trying for 2B.

Lots of discussion on that point in our study group. We had guys arguing for each answer. Final consensus was just the EJ. Final answer. Spoiler alert. That's correct also.

I don't know if any answer will be satisfactory.

What @johnnyg said.

He's illegally set up.

@Majordave I saw the Defender mask at a baseball gear show last weekend here in Minnesota. Tan pads in the one I looked at and tried on. It had Douglas on the pads. Not sure if this is a new joint venture or what? Looked pretty cool. I didn't like the weight at all.

That was something I was considering. Did you have to use an industrial sewing machine?

6' 215 My Platinum fits great! It is snug getting on, but not uncomfortably so. Had to tape the around the torso straps. Had one clip slip out on me during a game. The harness on my Unequal seems great as well. Looking forward to using this CP!

I have the Delta Flex harness for my Platinum and my Unequal CP's. Great fit! No more fidgeting with it during games. It's a great addition for your CP.

I agree! The single stripe pro shirts are my favorite. Comfortable and they look great. It'll be nice not to have to buy a bunch of new shirts for a couple years!

If it's cold enough, I'll always wear my long sleeved shirt instead of a jacket.

Got a Delta Flex harness for my brand new Unequal CP and tan TW pads for my mask. Merry XMAS to me! The Unequal fits unbelievable now!

I can't find the shin guards on the Unequal website. Looks like that code won't work. Sorry.

Unequal Twitter page. 2 days ago it was posted. Not sure if it's still good.

I agree. I retired 5-6 years ago from playing. My early evaluations commented on my "chasing" ground balls. Being a catcher really helped me understand how necessary a good relationship with the PU is.
