Maybe there's hope for me after all. I'm actually going to agree with PWL. You need to let your partner know when your taking third if a runner comes. I would also add to his statement that you should announce where you will be in a run down with something along the lines of "I've got this end."


I also agree with Windy. You should just say something like "That's down, or it's down." In expanding on that thought, I also believe you should choose your words carfully when you go out to cover a fly ball while on the bases when working a three or four man rotation. If you feel the need to announce that you're going out, you should just say "That's me."

You don't want to anounce something like, "I'm out, or that's mine." Both of these announcements have the potential to confuse the defense.

The last thing two outfielders need when their bearing down on a fly ball is an umpire clouding the play by yelling "That's mine."

Tim.
