The reason I am on so late is, I just finished a 16 inning game between to really
good ball clubs. I was on 1st [running 3-man], and in the first 10 innings, I
went to B position twice. There was not one call questioned during the
entire game. A few of the usual moans and groans, but neither coach came out.
52 K's in the game. 28 by the losing pitcher and 24 by winner. Top of 16th
1st batter reaches on a slap pop-up that F3 drops, Flood gates open, and when
inning finished, 5 runs scored. Kinda sad, cause losing pitcher did not
deserve to lose that way. Both F1's had good speed and rise balls, both stayed
to outside corner very effectively. One of the "bangers" I had was when the
SS for losing team dove for, caught and threw a slidding BR out. It was close,
so I used Joels theroy of which player made the best effort. [grin]

Don't you just love calling softball. Especially two games in one.

Not like that. This is why I prefer SP. Poor umpire at 3B was probably praying for lefthanded hitters just for a possible check-swing to keep him/her awake.

Since you went to the B only twice in 10 innings, I assume there was no ITB....and please don't slap your forehead and say, "damn, I knew we forgot something!"
