This: I posted strictly on professional rules. I have never heard of an automatic out for a player who is not on the team. Frankly, that's garbage if it is now the rule. They didn't have that rule back in 1993 when I stopped umpiring. Garbage? Some schools having a problem having 9 "players" on a team. Fed rule 4.4.1.f keeps games alive instead of ending in a forfeit. The spirit of HS sports is "supposed to be" participation, not win/lose/forfeit... yeah, I know Doesn't change my opinion. Baseball is one of those things that I'm a purist. Field 9 or go home. Now I'm not sure about other states but the FHSAA has 6 week suspensions for ejected players regardless the offense (appeals are allowed and it can be less but schools rarely spend the money to appeal), and that is enough of a penalty for the kid that COMMITTED whatever offense it may be... why end the game when the one who caused it is already going to be punished? The rest of the team certainly shouldn't be punished. I understand where you are coming from but this isn't professional baseball where the game ends and there is another one the next day and 120 more in the season

Welcome to the site and good luck at pro school!

Selling this Diamond Big League Mask. Used in 10 games this season but kept in like new condition. Very light mask weighs only 16 ounces... the diamond pads are an upgrade from the former iX3 pads and do not grab at stubble (in case you forget to shave before the game ) Make me an offer through PM... thanks for looking

On MLB Network right now!!!! (1pm eastern time)

He definitely wasn't the worst commissioner in his time period... David Stern has that wrapped up pretty securely! Is the NBA still around?

great transaction with @Txump10. Shipped the same day I paid and the jackets are in great shape

7 and a half centuries

Tim McClelland still uses his Carlucci from time to time. Tim Tschida and Tony Randazzo still use Carlucci CP as well. Teddy B isn't the only one using a Carlucci. As far as I know Tschida doesn't use the Carlucci no more. Tschida retired, so you are correct he does not wear a Carlucci any more And I saw Randazzo work the plate at the Rays game last week and he wasn't wearing a Carlucci either

It was just announced that Jeff Nelson will be at this clinic also

Hey we had 10 thousand strong at the game tonight!

So you put the Wilson Ti on here for $229.99 but has a buy it now on Ebay for $169.99??

Pause the video before the hit, look at the third row on the right side of the screen, and the 5th seat from the left (next to the guy with the beige hat) and you will see me

Anyone going to this clinic in October? http://nebula.wsimg.com/9100ca5a7e505b9f3ec733c2408a530d?AccessKeyId=B85413A7CD851D6557E6&disposition=0

My advice is not to do it! Way too good of a mask to do huge alterations like that IMO

please

Welcome to the site!

one of the female mlb network anchors (not sure who it is) just said about this play "wow the umpire appears to be right on this one"

Young buck manager needs to learn he can't sprint full boar out to the plate... why is he so excited anyways? He's coaching the Astros

Don't forget the scouts looking to promote them to MLB manager

I met an umpire in the NY Penn league through ebay and bought it from him I can definitely attest to that. I wore mine for the first time this weekend and the field vision was awesome You got a Nike mask?! yeah this past week! eBay? I met an umpire in the NY Penn league through ebay and bought it from him
