PU is having a nice game. Lots of hustle
First off, how TF do you miss the plate on a HR? (facepalm).....

More importantly, Irish, if you were UIC, do you feel that's the proper mechanic/body language in that case? I do: I think it demonstrates we are attentive and alert without giving any advantage to either team. Other blues I have worked with have disagreed, saying we should treat it "normally" then make the correct call on appeal.
