Sw-ump

Thanks @MadMax I was on the right track with the tent repair tape. Sewing back through it is a good idea, will have to start doing that with all my outdoors gear. Maybe you can get the Davis site to remove windbreaker from its product name 😂

This past weekend my Davis windbreaker snagged on a fence and got a hole in it. Does anyone have any repair tips? I was thinking tenacious tape or a similar product.

Call me crazy but I think I’ve seen some mlb guys wear a sky blue undershirt this year… maybe I’m imagining it though

Am interested if some r still available

Curious how the fabric performs.. first impression was it felt nice and soft but I’m not thinking it’ll breath well either, won’t be keeping them to test it out though

Here’s the pic of it on over my cp, not sure how well you can see it cutting in under the armpits. Not sure why they didn’t go with poly spandex

Maybe it’s just me and my cp.. I still have range of motion to make calls but the fabric bunches up and looks bad.. will take some pictures and post tomorrow

Curious on anyone’s experience with the new mlb style shirt that just came out.. I like the fabric but the cuts not great. My usual size is too small for the plate (super tight in the armpits) but baggy without a cp

The pricing isn’t anything crazy, same non discounted price as the old mlb replica shirts, ofc those are always discounted too it seems

Interestingly the Gerry Davis website has black ohsaa hats with the new logo, could that be a sign of a uniform change? Strange to me since they repeatedly said our uniforms will stay the same

Does anyone with a system 7cp have issues with jackets fitting them? I usually wear a medium shirt and haven’t had any problems with it being too small. Got a both medium and large shoulder stripe smitty fleece jacket, the medium the sleeves were too short and the collar was ridiculously high and the large was way too baggy. Maybe just get the large tailored? I didn’t have this issue with the mlb gray shoulder jackets

I'm kinda between the huarache and zoom pegasus 37's, theyre on sale at dicks rn and are pretty similar to the zoom vomeros. Max do you like the vomeros over the huaraches?

Looking for a new base shoe for this season, been recommended the nb ones but they seem to be out of stock just about everywhere. I've never used a "umpire" shoe, my last ones were old basketball shoes. I have a pretty narrow foot so like nike running shoes and stuff like that fit great.

In the tournament I worked this weekend the last batted out may run for the pitcher or catcher. The catcher is hit and goes to the dugout and the courtesy runner touches first base. Is the batter out for failing to touch first base or would rhe courtesy runner be able to take his place before reaching first base

Nike pro compression shorts, shock doctor air core, Nike pro tights. Shirt tucked into tights eliminates the shirt stays and I haven’t found a need for a jock since ny cup stays where I want it

Turns out what I thought was the top of the shoulders the entire ballpark thought was center of the chest, maybe the extremely small catcher messed up my positioning? My game this past night was smooth sailing.

I ended up working a 12u travel ball game yesterday, played under modified NFHS rules, using 50’ pitching distance and 70’ base paths. The coaches from both teams voiced their displeasure for my strike zone being too small the entirety of the game (mostly about the zones height). I was calling from armpits to knee and wasn’t giving much off the plate. The consensus among both managers seemed to be they wanted shoulders to top of knees. Do you guys thing my zone was too tight for this level?

Will probably go with a Wilson dyna-lite and some tw pads. Will a 6 stitch cap fit under it?

His comments on that would be where I got the idea of replacing pads over upgrading, just wanted to get some other opinions

As of right now I have the cheap champro mask with stock padding and am looking to upgrade as I’m doing higher level games now. Would it make sense to get a more expensive frame or to put decent pads onto my champro frame. Any suggestions? Edit: I have been eyeing the Wilson dyna-lite and the Allstar system 7 mask but do have the concern that the system 7 is supposed to be worn with a skullcap.
