Just to veer off the given subject a little, I had the easiest LBR call today, ever. Runners on 1st and 3rd. The ball gets by the catcher and the runner on 1st goes to 2nd. Catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher in the circle. As PU, I'm just waiting for the runner to get to 2nd, so I can call time and clean off the plate. I see her slowing down to a walk, stops and goes back to 1st 1 step from 2nd!!!!!! I'm just looking at my partner who is very experienced, waiting for him to call it. He sees her, looks at the pitcher, sees no indication of a play being made, looks at me, I shrug and shake my head no, he hesitates and finally calls her out on the LBR. I was cracking up, at the plate. I asked him what the hesitation was for and he told me he couldn't believe she got all the way to 2nd and went back to 1st. Teenagers!!!


Oh, yeah , the coach went crazy on my partner for about 2 1/2 seconds, then went crazy on the runner for about a 1/2 inning. My partner is a liitle less tolerant than I am. He is known in our group as the grumpy ole fart. He's one of the best we have in rules and mechanics, he just has a demeanor that says, "Don't mess with me"

I'll never see a easier LBR!
