Chat with DC goes something like this:

DC: Safe? How can she be safe? You had to see her slide into the tag!

Me: Yes the runner is safe. She's safe because the runner reached over your fielder’s glove that was in front of the bag and tagged the base. You're right coach, I did see the runner slide into the tag. Right after the runner reached over the glove and grabbed the base, she slid into the glove.
Sounds like a Wall Street moment. You sell, sell, sell and hope they buy, buy, buy!

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.
