I thought you did well. Especially ballsy to call that Stike Three when F2 pulled his mitt back into the zone for no reason.
I would suggest that you have a wee little commo with him about pulling
any pitches.
I always keep my helmet on.
Nice job of locating F2 on the foul and backing straight out for distance.
The signalling to the coaches, been there, no scoreboard, do that. Beats having to hear "Blue, what's the count" 200 times a game. Comment: Palms in on showing the count is easier to read from the field. Glance over andmake sure that the 3rd base Coach is looking, forget about the 1B Coach. I like to make certain that F1 sees the count if possible.
The comment about "pointing as if it is a HR" is absurd. Staying down, you do fine, you call a strike when you see a strike.
Learn to use your inicator without looking at it. Notch the wheels so you know where 0-0-0 is.
