Huge USSSA tournament in KC this weekend (as long as we're not under water :blink:).  Hundreds of teams from all around the country.  Really good teams and really good baseball.

Monday, the 14U Majors championship games will be televised on one of the sub-ESPN channels and I'll be working.  If I can find out which channel for sure, I'll post and if anyone happens to be watching, I'll try not to suck.

I think we have a few local teams coming down for that tournament. I pretty sure the 14u Naturals is one of them. Main pitcher throws some smoke.

OK, so it's 13 U Majors.  Baseball has been decent so far this weekend.

we have 2 championship games tomorrow afternoon/evening.  4:00 and 7:00.  

We're running 3 man for each. I should have the dish for one.  From what im being told, games are to be televised on MLB network.  I'm not 100% about that.

I believed they were streamed online.

I almost didn't get to do the 4:00 game because my 12:00 semi game got delayed by a brief storm.  Luckily it got over about 2 minutes after we restarted (long story) and I was able to get my gear off and work 2nd base for the 4:00 game.  This didn't allow much pre-game so working 4 man was both exhilarating and terrifying.  I blew the first fly ball to center by not going out.  Fortunately it was routine and I settled down after that and had a great time.  Got to call a couple of close steal plays at second.

I was on the dish for the 7:00 game.  We missed a couple rotations but they were on routine plays again.  I didn't get to 3rd with the 2 HRs.  1st one I didn't go, the 2nd, 3B didn't go in.  Probably lots to critique from you guys that are much more experienced with 4 man mechanics.  Plus the announcers were right behind the backstop and hearing them was tripping me out a little.  I really had to focus to block them out.
