Holy crap, Marvin Hudson just took that high heater U3K in his grill dead-on! I didn't see glove or bat even touch it. He's seeing spots, but nice reaction by all the players to just start wandering around while Marvin got rid of some of the stars.

Uhhh, guys... WHAT MASK IS MARVIN HUDSON WEARING???

 

Just took an 89mph pitch DIRECTLY to the upper right corner of his mask. I mean, it was NOT TOUCHED.

 

Didn't even flinch!!!

Now what was Adam Jones' problem?! Gives the evil-eye to U1 for five seconds, followed by "that's bullsh**", then the replay shows him out by almost half-a-step.  Maybe he's letting all of that "speed of Adam Jones" get in his head...

Weird. He was pretty clearly out too... At least he did't throw a fit and throw a helmet like the player did a couple games ago.

This is the first good luck I've had of Miami's park. I like traditional/old school (our new stadium looks like an old stadium), but IMO it's nice to have a new stadium that went all-out modern.

 

Top 9 coming up, and it's good to hear the USA fans making some noise.

 

...and David Wright's new nickname is "Captain America"? I can dig it.

USA vs DOM on Thursday. As many guys from both teams that know and play with each other, even though it's not a "win or go home" game, it should be one of the best games of the tournament.

Officially, Hudson have a Nike mask with tan TW pads.  I have one with the same set up that he have but I added up a mask visor and a TG.

Wow is THAT tough to read!!

 

Also ....

 

If you have something cool as you describe, please post it in the equipment forum!  You should know by now how much we all like a little umpire porn in the morning! :yippie:

I think it should be left up as an example of how SOME PEOPLE (NFUA) have the maturity level of a six year old!! :P:sarcasm:

I read it without a problem!!

Now that is funny stuff right there!

I've enjoyed watching the games.  More enjoyable than I'd anticipated.  

 

 

I didn't really get into the first couple WBC's but I'm kinda digging this....

It's been pretty cool watching these stars play for their home countries, the pride of the game throughout the world is refreshing.
