  1. "Coach don't do that." "Where does it say I can't do that?
  2. Had that saying in the Air Force, too.
  3. Clarence also need to know the day of the week to see which days he has a doubleheader so he knows which days to be late.
  4. By the way, I really liked the video you posted with analysis (the Clemson HBT?). I think the extra length of the video helps as well.
  5. TMIB, you forgot the fact he doesn't need plate gear because he calls the game from behind the pitchers mound because it gives him a better view of any D3K.
  6. My sample size is small--and it's early in the season, but has anyone else noticed a drastic drop in the number and volume of complaints from the umpires sitting in the bleachers? I'm wondering if the FED's POEs actually helped something this year and would like to know what y'all are seeing in your neck of the woods.
  7. Probably wore nothing but equipment with a big ol' yellow W on it.🤣
  8. Live look at @ArchAngel72's computer screen as he logs in to U-E:
  9. Maintaining good slot position will help immensely, but good equipment is key. And that's why we have a whole thread on mask pr0n. When you rely on your gear, you make sure it's going to protect you when you need it. I've been hit solidly a number of times, but--and I'm being 100% honest here--none of them hurt as much as when I thought I was cool the first year I was doing LL and didn't have a throat guard (you'll see it abbreviated TG frequently)--not fun getting hit by even a slow foul in the throat. Contrast that with a hight school foul tip straight to the mask from an upper-80s fast ball that was hard enough it broke one of my straps on my TG? Stunned me a bit, but it didn't hurt.
