2 man - plate

3 man - plate

4 man - plate

1 man - What's that ?

 

 I find "plate-hog" distasteful, and inaccurate when it comes to me. I prefer "plate-hoarder".

 

This.

 

And I'm OK with plate hog.

Nah, you gotta enact a version of the Hunger Game with the whole crew. Whoever wins gets to work plate as much as they want, until they get more crew members.

Stan, if you were visiting here, and working with me, you would be considered a guest, and would be given options that guys who normally work with me do not receive. I may be a plate-hoarder, but I am a generous host, lol...

Somebody smack Jocko........He's skipping again.

I would love to!!!!

I believe this kind of request would require us to line up in turn like in the movie "Airplane!"

Almost always I have two games, and I prefer plate first and field second. I take the drive down to the field as a time to get in game mode, and starting my evening off on time and on pace is how I like to start.

The second game is when I start to get antsy, so the ability to move around the field helps cure that.

As a former New Englander, I'd like to respond: "Yeah, I gotcha "I like to be in control Right Here!". Work a game at 104 degrees with a pitcher who can't throw Southwest, much less over the plate and tell me you like "being in control"

Off-topic: I just got my first assignment: February 13th.....OK, plate's OK.....

Best two out of three falls

I personally like the plate but have no problem with bases. When I don't know my partner, or he is inexperienced, I prefer taking the plate. I know if he will cover the bases if I go out, is he moving out from the plate on fly balls, is he covering third? If I am on the plate I can watch him and plug the hole.

I like both for different reasons. The plate is really fun when the pitchers are good. The bases are a lot of fun too. I like getting in different positions and turning for steals and pick-offs.

I definitely like the bases if the catcher is afraid of the ball (this happened to me a few times).

I would have to agree, the plate is the place to be!  Although I will force myself to do bases from time to time.
