I'm having a problem with "Nuff Said". I am not getting the point here. Is it to illustrate that the MiLB umpires shirts don't match? Or that PU is carrying his mask in the wrong hand? Or that the attendance at minor league autograph sessions is remarkably poor?

Or is this a picture of you or someone you know?

It's probably referring to the forearm guards or that the shade of grey on the middle umpire's pants is off (which happens to a lot of crews as pants age). If that's "nuff said," Tim is really stretching, but then again, Tim belongs to a union and all unions blindly support other unions, no matter what.

I think the uniforms on this crew look better than some minor league crews' uniforms I've seen in the past.

The guy in the middle looks a little frail - I hope they don't bump into him!

I have considered wearing Forearm guards.

I work BR 13 - 18 YRO, HS, and Adult PTP. In those leagues, you get hit a lot. I am currently nursing some nerve damage to my left Forearm from a ball that hit me 3 weeks ago. But I would not expect to see an umpire wearing them at the MiLB or higher level, unless he had been directed to by a doctor to protect a previous injury. I may have to wear one to get my arm to heal.

I'm 47, if I'm still able to do this when I'm 60 or so, I think some of the hits I have taken as a younger man might break a bone when at that age. So I guess I would welcome them becoming more popular.

You should have seen how PISSED Tim McClelland was after getting hit by Jason Johnson's last warmup pitch in yesterday's Indians-Mariners game. It was hilarious.

since when is the left hand the WRONG hand? If this happened over night just let me know cause I am the one in the wrong then.
