Well, that depends on what he was warned about. I've reminded some 3rd base coaches in rec ball about the "physically assists" rule, only because they were getting way too close to their runners. Would I be so nice in a tourney? No, just rec ball. Most coaches have no clue, so I'll give them a courteous "nudge" in the right direction.

In the end, mcrowder's call was the right one.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
