I use a Combat mask, its rated form up to 125mph, I was stung by a ball that bounced in front of me, my fault to be honest shouldn't be watching the pitch to begin with. any way this ball might have been going 40 50 mph and it hurt like a mother %$@*&. point being be prepared pitching is a open...
Happend
Pitch in the dirt
Right handed batter
Runner steals thrid
Batter ducks but does not leave the box
Catcher picks ball throws from knees to third hits player in box in the helmut
Ump yells time and told the batter he was out????????
Is this true??????
You see this all the time, A bunted ball sometimes hits the plate and goes forward and the ump will call it foul........I dont know why they keep doing this......The field ump had no reason to say anything even if he was the cheif ump, if anything he should know he needs to keep his lips closed.....
If you can stay down on it.............the second bounce or shot hop is the one you dont want to see.........sounds silly but go out with a buddy and get him to drive some at ya..........
Thanks for the info, Im just trying to understand it thats all, a guy was hit leaving second and the ball hit him.........he was called safe I thought it was automatic a out.....
Not a fly ball a hard hit line drive 3 feet off the ground the third baseman dives into foul territory and the runner leaves his bag but is still in foul territory and the ball hits him........I ve seen it many times over the year were guys make that crazy diving catch....
It says if the batted ball past any infielder.......well hell second is past both first and third is it not????? If i play first and a righty is up im with or even in front of first..........If I play third and a lefty is up im with or in front of that bag so.........would the ball not pass...
