The Good. Partner showed, late, but showed.

The Bad. Had on his ASA cap, [This NHFS game]. Had same shoes in same
condition he left the tournament on Sunday in.
Called time everytime he was crossing the field to change positions.
In "B", he was right behind 2nd. Guess on pickoff attempts. Luckily there
was only one. Guessed right.
In "C", right behind 3rd regardless of where runner was.

The Ugly. Ball hit down 3rd base line, 3rd baseperson strattling the line
reaches over into foul ground touches the ball while over foul ground. Partner
in his "C" slot position behind 3rd, not only points fair, but "hollars", yes "hollars"
fair, while I am hollaring "foul", "foul".
Easy one to fix, except the offensive coach is very experienced and somewhat
of a jokester. With time out he ask my partner why it was a fair ball?
Partner said because the 3rd baseman was standing partially in fair ground
when she made contact with the ball. Then tells the coach, let my partner
explain it to you, cause he been doing this 50 years. Coach tells partner,
well, your partner called it foul. "He did"! Partner then asked me why I
called it foul.
