Appearance MATTERS

[Stk004]

We all know appearance matters, especially when trying to move up through the ranks. This was one of today's moments on twitter, and aside from a few leg day jokes, there were nothing but positive comments. He gained instant respect nationwide simply because of the way he looks.

Maybe a little too tight haha.

I thought his appearance and demeanor throughout the game was a great display of professionalism.

Didn't get to watch (working) but sounded good. That Midwest drawl came across nicely on the radio.

Pretty sure he is about Ed's age. However, Ed does have a son that is a white hat for the Pac12.

Hochuli is 66. Defee is 54.

I got curious and inspired, and found the video clip(s) of the coin toss.

Huh. Know what I got from that, besides appearance matters, that can be translated to us as baseball officials?

No yammering on and on about how to approach an umpire (official) , sportsmanship, hustle, or their penchance for throwing a flag or not. 

Yeah, for certain rulesets and conditions, we have to gloss over make note of safety ("properly and legally equipped?"), but otherwise, make the plate meeting as brief and succinct of words as possible, and get on with it!

I thought he was. But wasn't sure and didn't want to just assume.

The refs have their own way to conquer the game.
