Ok, I'll ask -- if you take a shot and your mask bends, do you finish the game with it, or bring in the back-up between innings? 

 

I already know most will say, "depends on how close your gear bag is."  Let just assume you won't get back before P throws 5 warm-ups, do you still go? 

Depends on how bad the bend is, who I can send, what the status of the game is, etc. I always have two masks and two cups. Never have needed to change either mid game.

 

That would be awkward - "Hey buddy, can you go to the blue Honda back there and get my cup out of the bag in the trunk please?"   :P

 

I wear a ShockDoctor titanium. If I need a replacement cup, I probably don't really need one because a call to the coroner would probably be more appropriate.

Same here.  Could pound nails with that thing.

FM25s are $30 new at academy.

 

That's not a bad idea. $25 right now online. Add in a set of TW pads and that'd be a pretty good backup mask.

I have a FM4000 with a bent frame. Haven't used it since I got hit last year.
