I almost always (unless I forget) ask, "Does anyone wanna be visitors?" Had a situation where I had to flip anyway in a recent tournament -- both teams wanted first ups. But if I get a taker, no flip, let's go, play ball, another 1:20 closer to relazing with an ice cold Diet Pepsi (the Strawberries and Cream is ok, but this new Caramel Cream deal doesn't sit well with me...but if we're lucky this weekend we get FREE RED BULL).
