I was.  That kid was so easy to call.  Have two more tomorrow and two more Tuesday.  I was so tired for my games Friday that my timing was nice and relaxed.  Had to get up at 4 am to make it to Long Beach for a 8 am game.  Hickman and Blinci had the games following mine.  New Balance is nice enough to give us each new base and plate shoes, a hat and a tshirt.  Plus, the ball is so darned easy to call.  Nice when the players are good.

I know, huh?  Was hoping they were the models coming out later this year, but they were the current models.  Guess I could sell my old shoes.

A buddy of mine worked last Tuesday. Said he got smoked a few times. He said the Pitchers were a lot better than the Catchers plus they don't know each other so easy to get crossed up.

First name only, who was it?  Know of a few who took some serious shots to the head.  One guy was really flinching when I worked with him.

Javier. I doubt he would be flinching.
