He said he would put it half way between the pitching plate and home, then study it from the PU position.

I'm not sure if I wish I had that commitment or I'm glad that I don't.
Funny thing is that's exactly what they did at our NUS in NC this year...

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.
