I hope you rung it up just so you could get the coaches going (just kidding). JMO but if I get a one-sided game as your speaking about yes I will most of the time OPEN things up too BUT I never discuss it with the coaches to me that is kinda opening a can of worms if you know what I mean. Also when I do "open" things up I do it the same for both teams because you never know when one those weird things are going to happen I have seen several times where one team has taken a 15-0 lead in the 1st never score another run and have the other team come back and make the game close or even win it

I notice in your post your from SUNNY CA it most be nice I just got rain out of another 6 games scheduled for today. So far I have lost 20 games due to weather and everything is backing up at this rate some Sat in June I will probably be scheduled to call 100 games. Oh well that life I guess


Have a good one

Don,
You have lost more games than I have called. {I was on the injured
reserve list though}..[grin] Reference the portion of your
quote I underlined. It is tough to try and help a team. If
you call a pitch that is really out of zone, now that pitcher
thinks it is a strike and keeps throwing it. I usually tell
the coach of the team beating up on the other one to create
some outs and ones that won't embarass his opponent. Really
not our job to take strikes, outs that are not there. Never
know when a ML scout is learking about, LOL......Seriously
not something we should do, I let coach of team thats ahead
do it.
