that's about it...except on steals of 2nd, i'll shift from pos B to inside to watch the play (discouraged by many umps but I like the better view there...)

the games are about 70% common, so mechanics wise, you should be fine. base ump in SB brushes pitcher plate, bring the out hammer up a bit higher than in baseball. The action on the bases will be a bit faster and plays will be closer...

really? Interesting.....
