After reading AtlUmp's responses, there is nothing that I disagreed with. Prior to that, the main difference I had was I was caught up in one of our local associations policies, that only umpires in A or D, the corners, will go out. I think this is a policy that is left over from those that do BB. Thanks for reminding me that softball is completely different.

The play that raised these questions was a little frustrating. It was a situation where U3 went out and we properly reverted to two man mechanics. However, we couldn't agree on what the two man mechanics were. You'd think that would be the easy part. We did not do a post game discussion on this mix-up, but I will be following up for my own benefit. (I'm sure I was right... but that doesn't always mean I am. <*grin*> ) And then again, no matter who is right, it's obviously not good if a base is left uncovered.

Thanks for the input.
