I'm trying to figure out how you hit the back attachment when removing your mask? AS I take it off the back flag comes down and catches my finger. I'm assuming the part that flares out is catching me.

Hockey style mask users: Does anyone else have the problem of their finger(s) getting cut from taking you mask off during a play? I must have hit the same spot with the back attachment of my helmet a hundred times today! By the end of the 2nd I already had a solid blood spot on my left middle finger down on the joint by the finger nail. BTW I use the All-Star MVP 3000TI.

Correct. The polywools fit like a dream. I am a tall, skinny guy and the Ultimates were still snug around the seat and thights. I can only imagine if I were built more stocky. That's interesting my ultimate base pants are plenty loose, I wonder if they possibly sent me combos...

Arent the poly-wools hotter? Reason I ask is I work down here in Texas.

Agreed the only patent leather I like is my belt!

Is the any color difference between the Honigs poly-wools and the ultimates?

1 for using the illegal bat, (assuming it was unnoticed when he stepped in the box and the whole time while at bat) and then out number 2 comes from B2 entering the box with an illegal bat.

Runners 1st & 2nd. B3 gets a hit and R2 is obstructed and gets forced out at 2nd however R1 scores and B3 reaches base safely. The OC has the option of loading the bases and giving up the run, or keeping the run and let the out on R2 stand.

So how are you handling this situation Jax?

My understanding is that once B4 was pitched to, B3 is valid.

My chapters interp is that if BR 1 gets on and then B2 steps in the box with the same illegal bat and it is discovered; both are called out.

Tracking the ball with your eyes all the way into the mitt was the biggest thing they stressed this past weekend at the South Texas Umpire Clinic in San Antonio.

Yea I really like it.

Good job! Slow day?

I received my stripe inserts today from Fittske24 (very quick), can't wait to get the jacket to the tailor.

Tracking the ball for me and finding a permanent plate stance! I've seemed to go through stretches where I change my stance every 3-4 months. Never in the middle of a game though!

I would love to see the information you teach for detecting altered/rolled bats.

Love the navy ball bags with the black shirt!

My therma base came in today and this thing is AWESOME! This is a no brainer for any umpire who works in weather below 50 degrees for any amount of time during their season.

That card is mandatory to carry in My Group. You have a copy you could post? I would love to add one to my wallet.

Doubt it with Majestic now marketing these shirts to the general public. Hey, maybe of us umpires refuse to buy and wear those ugly frocks, they'll change the design. Those light blue jobs are Gawd awful. Agreed! The black is decent at BEST!

It appears your correct, I just saw the NFHS listed out to the side and it didn't dawn on me that it means to list check the index! My bad!

That's what I was thinking! Is there a list out there that has the different misinterpretations of JR or would someone like to make one up!
