Stay Consistent
I also umpire on Long Island and at 53 am probably a border line "old fat guy" despite recent foray to the treadmill. I see no reason for the BU or PU to alter their mechanics because their partner is not in shape or a wee bit older. An exception might be if there is real fatigue on that particular day and you can't get a replacement for that third or sometimes fourth game of the day. I must admit other than slow pitch softball / baseball I have not done more than two games a day for a couple of years. I agree with those posts that say we should give the best performance up to our individual abilities. If those abolities seriously wane think of retiring or going down a level or two in the games you accept. Jim/NY
