So you prepare yourself before each game (or night of games). You accept that there are things that you must do before the game that will show that you take pride in your work and respect the game. You show that you are prepared to call the game in front of you.

Walking the field is one more demonstration of preparation, especially when you find something (like a gap in a wall) that you bring up in a pre-game meeting. Will it reflect negatively upon you if you don't bring it up? No.

But it will reflect positively upon you, and it takes some of the wind out of some coaches' sails when you do those little things.

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.
