I see in another thread that you are nearly brand new to this avocation. I agree with those who advised you to get to a clinic.

As regards this thread, since you're just starting out, get some good habits going. For one, instead of saying "Dead Ball", call "TIME!"

I attended a clinic where whenever somone would yell "DEAD BALL", three or four minor league umpires who were instructing the clinic would run out on the field and administer CPR to the ball, finally giving up and looking up at the bewildered umpire and one would say, "I'm sorry, I guess it was just TIME."
