He worked HS ball in SteveM's general area, but told me no one had ever told him to get up on the catcher and change slots with the LH batters. Scary.
Well, the strike zone doesn't change just because a batter's left-handed.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
