Then you haven't learned to read the throw and adjust as necessary.

Explain to me how you are going to be able to see everything from the C position. That's what I was talking about. Say for example, F3 in shade, your in bright sunshine makes it hard enough sometime. Experience has nothing to do with it. I've around ballfields for over 40 years in all capacities. I watch what is going on. Baseball is probably the best sport where just sitting is the best way to learn. That includes playing, coaching, and umpiring.
As for the level I work, that is my choice. I LIKE IT!!! It gives me the freedom to do other things I want. I don't to have live out of the trunk of my car for six or seven months. I just don't care to play the good ol' boys game. If that what you want to do T-Rex, fine, you have my blessing. Eject anyone who is foolish enough question your wisdom.
I don't understand what BALLS has to do with anything. There is a new book on the shelves called Conquer Stress. Give it a read. SERENITY NOW, SERENITY NOW!!!!

Who the hell are you talking to? You quote my post and then launch into some kind of a tirade about T-Rex, your level of play and what BALLS have to do with something or other, none of which have anything to do with my post. I neither addressed level of play or your manhood or my good friend and a fine umpire from Washington, T-Rex.
Best you don't even try to explain, you don't appear terribly stable at this point.
I'm finished with this thread.
