My dad has expressed interest in trying to umpire and see what it is like so I am looking to get a uniform for him for his birthday. I have already gotten a good deal on two shirts and now I just need a pair of 38" combo pants with the expander waistband. I'm hoping to get a good deal on a pair that are either lying in a closet unhemmed or are only gently used, as I don't know if he'll stick to it past the first ten or twenty games Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just because I don't have a ton of posts doesn't mean I don't have opinions about a product that I have purchased. Good products lead to happy customers, I can post about my experience with the F3 Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Have you taken a pitch or foul ball off of one? I have no doubt that the F3 is better than any other mask I have worn. There's a reason behind why it is catching on between catchers and umpires in the majors and it's not because it's the lightest mask out there [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I keep it all covered with a white sheet so nobody can see what it is, all you can see are the hangers on the rod. That also keeps the sunlight off of everything. Everything else is in the trunk. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I definitely thought he got there before the tag too Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

During the season, what is your setup with all of your gear and apparel? I'm itching to get back so I made myself a closet in the back seat of my car with a wooden clothes rod that has all of my shirts, pants, jackets, and undershirts hanging from it. Then in my trunk I have a small box for backups (indicator, brush, sunglasses, cup, etc), box for primary small gear, base and plate shoes in their boxes, and then a larger bag with my shin guards, cp, and mask.

Here is a photo of mine with the same setup Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Anyone? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I figured that is what you meant but I was wondering if you were thinking to possibly do something differently Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Does this change anything for you? To me that EJ didn't get much more straightforward Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I just picked these up for baseball, happy to hear the good review Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

What about something like this? I'm also looking for turf shoes but I'd like a little lower price point https://www.boombah.com/us/product.html?item=144498 Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

What does this mean? I put the link because I wanted legitimate feedback as to people's thoughts on the pair of shoes Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Any thoughts on these? https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Carbon-Trainer-Metallic-Silver/dp/B01NCNONWJ/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1521428589&sr=1-3&nodeID=679257011&psd=1&keywords=baseball%2Bturf%2Bshoes&refinements=p_n_size_browse-vebin%3A1285075011%2Cp_n_size_two_browse-vebin%3A5391077011&th=1&psc=1

@BrianC14 and I are both looking for one. I pm'ed @maineump with my address but he may have intended his to go to @BrianC14. If that is the case, I will pm you my address and send you money to cover postage @noumpere

Would you mind posting a link to one of these sites? Are the sites reputable? Is shipping reasonable? Thanks

I don't know what the latest version is to have been printed, I am just looking for one so I can study it.

Hey all, Does anyone have a CCA manual that they'd be willing to part with? I'd prefer it be from within the past couple of years. Pm with what you want for it. Thanks!

I agree with the call. If the throw is to the inside they'd get the call but with the first baseman setup inside and a bad throw to the outside I don't have interference.

It's done one of two ways (depending on the age and league level). One way is that each batter has five pitches and can swing at them all but the fifth must be put into play. The second, used for "higher level" divisions, gives each batter six pitches and they can strikeout (the sixth pitch must be put into play). The MP games allow young umpires to learn a lot about game management, but they also scare away many young umpires because the coaches are extreme in some (too many) cases.

Was covering for a pair of machine pitch games yesterday (keep in mind these kids are 7) and had this play that led to two ejections. Dribbler hit in front of the plate, pitcher goes to throw to the inside of first and the first basemen is run into my the batter-runner, easy RLI call and I get the out. As soon as I call interference, the VTHC (running the machine) is yelling coming towards me as well as each of the base coaches. I send the base coaches back to their boxes and give a brief explanation to the head coach. I jog back behind the plate when am assistant walks out of the dugout arguing, I give him a stop sign and he walks right through it and gets his place in the parking lot. He resists leaving the field until I tell him he has 15 seconds before they forfeit. At this point, the head coach is at home plate again questioning me. I tell him, "coach, I don't want to eject you too, let's go back to the machine and play baseball. " At this point he gets halfway back to the machine, and turns around to argue again and secures his spot in the parking lot. Coaches' behavior in low level baseball can be ridiculous at times.
