Just a few comments about my games on Saturday....

• If your pitchers hands never stop moving then YES it is a Balk.  I don't care that I already called it 2 times this inning, if he does it again I'll call it again.  (To which I did.  He finally pulled the pitcher)
• Does EVERY Catcher have to drag his feet (an a pile of dirt with him) when he walks across the plate after I brush it off??
• Parents, I understand that your nice seat elevated behind the backstop 150 feet away from 2B gives you a much better look at the play than I have from 5 feet away.  I'll start calling the game from next to you from now on....

It was just one of those days!

The HT is supposed to keep the "official" book, but HT bookkeeper is chauffeuring another kid around town so I keep track of runs per  innings using VT's book (don't get me started about why I have to do this). After 4-1/2 innings, time expired, with the VT behind 8-7, the VT coach says, no, its 7-7, show me the HT book (he knows there isn't one). He ain't leaving until the TD rules (thanks to whoever recommended bring a cell phone to this remote field, it came in handy). After 15 minutes of this crap, HT says, lets just go with 7-7 and play the bottom half of the inning.

 

HT B1 walks. F1 does "the bounce" and I balk him to 2B (not a peep protest), B2 reaches 1B on U3K and R2 goes to 3B. Then F1 does the classic 3-1 fake pickoff play and game over. Wasn't THAT worth the wait, final score still 8-7.

 

We barely had enough daylight to finish the last game...what a guy.

Saturday, TCA, Field 6. Last game ended on walk-off WP just before I was going to call it for darkness.
