Peter: Do you think the fact that the discussion was about three-man mechanics might impact your position on this subject?

I only say that because I didn't know they wre using three-man crews in the Carolina League.

Yep, I read a book. I can also read a thread. (Tee, hee!)

Carl;

I also read the thread. You will notice that the topic changed to two man mechanics when Moose became involved. You, yourself, must have been aware of this change of the discussion to two man mechanics because you mentioned calling pickoff plays at first from the C position. No one does that in 3 man that I am aware of. (g)

GRE 144's question came after we switched to two man mechanics and clearly involves two man mechanics. That is the question that I was making my responses to after you made the response to GRE 144.

You didn't think that you were answering GRE 144's question in 3 man, did you? (grin) Perhaps you allowed the musings of "Brainless in Seattle" to confuse you. LOL

You had me going for a minute there, Carl. Until I reread the whole thread, I thought that I must be losing my mind. This can be a fatal condition for an umpire. We must never doubt ourselves on the field (or on the internet). Senility forces the retirement of umpires even faster than physical limitations.
