Group one had the game today, one inning behind the dish and one on the field. The pro guys evaluated them from the sidelines. The most experienced umps there commented on how great it was to go through that kind of evaluation on their game. I can't wait.
Our group spent the day on situations on another practice field. I get to take the the plate and field tomorrow. Left with a sunburned face and tired legs. I am sure the snowbirds were comfortable. They're probably having a better time even now. Hope they get some sleep.
One thing I did learn that I would like to pass along. No more "Thats a balk." Now we call the balk and verbally explain the call aloud. Can't leave our partner thinking about the call anymore. Ex: Hands, shoulder, knees or toes, etc. Designed to end the discussion in the peanut gallery. What did he do? I liked it.
