Never coached, have you?

Once they know the disposition of the ball they can return their attention to the base runners.
As umpires, we are faced with many responsibilities during any given play, but our main focus is the ball whenever it is in our immediate proximity. Base coaches, as well as players, umpires and fans, should focus on the baseball as well.

So as F2 comes set, as F6, with R3, you're watching the ball? You're F9, F1 is RHP, you're watvhing the ball? You're 16 and in the stands when Ms. Homecoming walks by with a "tail" wind and a short skirt.
You're watchig the ball?
Egads, I bet you did.
