I've also heard SP players whining, "Come on, Blue, that's a Delaware strike," but I'm not sure exactly what that means. Maybe that they think the pitch was "deep" (over the shoulder).
Any of those called with a double fist pump?

Had a neighborhood play opportunity the other day. If second base had a foot high pile of dog dung, the SS wouldn't have been able to smell it. Of course I do my dead level best, somehow remembering to do the off the base signal first before the safe signal. Amazing how when you remember to do those "other" signals (off the bag, pulled foot, etc) before the safe signal, the amount of dog dung coming from the dugout is greatly diminished -- even in men's slow pitch.
