Key phrase here!

If the bat breaks it's a live ball, fair foul will be decided where the ball comes to rest or is touched. However, if the contact is made in foul territory, it is an automatic foul ball.

Headed to the new PBUC school next Sunday!

The padding appears to be much leaner than the gold or plat.

Mine is quite simple. Introductions, exchange line up cards, ground rules, ask any further questions? Have a good one guys!

Two steps fair.

Dry-Lo's!

Kev, ... I think it hit him ....think about it ....Martinez whinces, groans, Napoli doesn't go after the ball ....why? See what I mean ? Oh yes, the arguement-solving three -run blast was great, ....................UNTIL the game ending granny!! I meant that the umpires other than the PU could not have definitively seen it. It had to be the PU's call. It was a glance off the fabric. You have to see/hear it, or it has to be definitive. Sometimes we can tell from out there because of a change of speed or direction of the ball. The change of direction came from it hitting Napoli. So they conferred and decided that it probably hit him, based on his and Napoli's actions, so let's put R2 back on second. Any chance the other umpires went off of the reaction of Martinez and Napoli? More less an educated guess?

Anyone else notice the plate umpire was wearing an MLBU cap?

If it's above 60 you will burn up!

UmpJM thanks for the input. It's my final semester of college (22 years old) and the course I'm taking is designed at putting the polishing touches on our professional resume. I've had a professor instruct me to include it, yet I'm not sure as to where to put it.

Do you list Umpiring on your business resume and if so under what category? Do any of you have a special resume dedicated to umpiring? I had an assignor ask me to send over my "resume" so I just listed my previous experience and training.

I thought the same thing!

With the lack of body weight I have the pocket looks to be too low.

I've worked a full season with them and no complaints as of yet. Still not a big fan of the collars, but overall a great upgrade over the previous years model.

I was wondering the same thing about taking the pocket off of my base shirts.

Used one when I caught in my playing days, and I just love the vision and protection.

I thought he was saying use this move with a fake to first. Misunderstanding.

With just a runner at 3rd? That would be a balk, either for not throwing or for throwing to an unoccupied base. Of course the unoccupied base would supersede the no throw is my understanding.

For me I love the RBK traction, the NB 995 only lasted me about 2 years before the nubs were gone. I really wish Nike would get into the umpire shoe business. I would love to have a pair of Nike Shox for the bases, but I'm just not comfortable with the traction on them.
