Bad umpire series - Umpires getting hit

[Thunderheads]

Both Dreckman and Wolf get hit with foul balls ....

Wolf ..........

[stkjock]

Dreckman needs more padding 

 

I guess concussion concerns on Wolf?

The shots off to the side of the mask SUCK!

[MadMax]

Anyone know which mask Dreckman uses? It has an extended crown guard, but with no struts on the ear guards, it isn't a +POS MAG-T or Champro CM57 (both Magnesium -alloy masks).

Perhaps if the Wilson CPs had abdomen extensions available, more umpires wouldn't have to "add their own". That shot had to tickle. Yick.

Mizuno?

On Wolf's game, it was stated that he didn't continue as PU after the 2nd inning. Did the crew go to 3-man, or did Wolf assume a BU spot for the duration of the game?

They generally go with 3-man. I worked with a guy coming off from a concussion, and working the bases was more difficult, due to having to move his head quickly, and running with pivots made him dizzy (ier). I am sure 3-man is a piece of cake for these guys.

I'm not.  When you get used to 4-man, it can be hard to remember who goes where when going back to 2-man.

Right in the fat muscle. Tell catchers it took 56 years to perfect my fat muscle, one pitch to destroy it.

Agree with the comment about moving the head.  Dizzy at the least and don't need to tempt fate.

Mizuno 2QA-121.

4 man is based on 3 man just as 3 man is based on 2 man so making the adjustment isn't that hard. Especially considering that a good number of spring training games are 3 man.
