Fields aren't great and the umpires have to be the worst in the state. As of July 15th.

You sound like fun.

Also, it doesn't make sense to not start at 8a. Yeah, I hate 8a games just as much as everyone else, but everyone knows that's when tournaments start. Not sure why they chose to start an hour later.

Whose bat handles are still soaked? Probably going to have to re-do mine. How in the world do you leave all the bats out in the pouring rain?

This happened last night in our champ of champs game at Berliner (I know this is a Cincy group, but it applies): Bases loaded, no outs. Batter flies out to RF. 1 out. R3 and R2 tags. R3 scores. 1B cuts off the throw and R2 is caught in an uneventful run down. 2 outs. R1 decided to tag at some...

I have a bigger issue with them being zns. We've been required to use worth extremes or hot dots all year. I have plenty of those. Didn't budget for buying any more balls for the rest of the season. I asked Eddie if we can use worth balls.

I'd take the subs

Definitely joking.

Bat #7 first. Get him out of the way.

Single up the middle.

Do the other keepers get released?

Walk off HR... For the other team. Inning ending that knocked us out of the tourney.

i've been using medigrip (https://www.medline.com/jump/product/x/Z05-PF00084) lately. i like because it compresses, but I don't lose circulation and can keep it on for long periods with no discomfort. I used evoshield for a number of years and they were great, but I always had to take them off...

Focus on your timing and make sure you're swinging at good pitches.

Batter-runner should be hustling to first base. If anything happens, the same result (out, runner on 1st) should happen. Issue is people pop up and start walking to the dugout and open themselves up to a double play. No reason for a rule to protect laziness.

Had a good one tonight. Bang-bang play at 1B. I'm up the line and end up 10-15 feet from the bag, great position. Call safe. 1B says I need to get a better angle. I laugh and head back. I hear him tell someone that he "felt the guy run past him" and he already had the ball. Took all I had not to...

I'll give a situation as an example: Runner on 2nd, 1 out. Hit down the LF line. The correct play is for the left fielder to throw the ball to 2nd base which means the umpire (me) doesn't have to worry about the runner going home. However, the left fielder threw the ball to third basemen and...

I agree that tossing players isn't a casual thing and I don't think we're looking to toss guys, but it's really simple: When the umpire says it's over and time to move on, you move on. If a grown man wants to continue acting like an ass, he's gone. That was all I meant.
