I won't do more than 3, period. I'm 54 which qualifies me as no longer being a spring chicken, er rooster. Personally I don't think you can be at your best when you do a lot of games in a row on a certain day. If you're talking about time limits, I don't like them. Not especially fair to the kids. Plus, not having a clock is one of the great things about baseball. It's not over until it's over. I do like the mercy rules that are in place at most tournaments.

I can't see him taking a knee in this video, although I did see another one and he did take a knee. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/asu/articles/20130914asu-football-wins-in-bizarre-fashion-against-wisconsin.html -
That's a good catch by the umpires. Nobody gets suspends. Woot Woot

I think the fan did touch it. Since it was a Cardinals home game and more then likely a Cards fan, not sure why they awarded Jay home. Certainly doesn't nullify anything. And I'm a die hard Cardinals fan.

The way the straps are on the head. I don't think I would feel safe like that. Plus, why not adjust your current straps?

Umpires are not allowed to have a sense of humor. Send John home.

You see them getting together more and more. That is good.

That's not even a tough call. Routine throw to first.

3-2-2 no need for anything else, unless you're running a scoreboard. And the one with the larger numbers

Good call

And good job from Steve Smith telling him to get off the field.

And I will purchase these.

Zimmer is not a good fighter. Seems to always be thrown to the ground.

I have both and love them.

Tough Decision: Wilson Platinum/Gold or Unequal CP

Let's see if this post holds once you take an uncaught fast ball to the chest..... It holds true. I've been hit, no big deal. -
I have an out

Hands down interference.

I feel I get a much better read and look at a play just a few feet off the line. I mean way better. And so does my dog. One bark for out, two for safe, growl for a warning, growl and bite for "you're outta here!"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free At least somebody speaks dog.

Never seen this happen before. Have had it happen in a game when the catcher hit the batter in the helmet. I felt it was a real cheap shot on the catcher trying to draw an interference call out of me. Some pissed off opposing players.

I think you got it right and your partner should have read it a little better. I generally point at the PU when I hear him tell me he's at third or when he decides to go home. Not sure how others do it. I pregame that technique with my partner. Listen to Manny. Ha
