where is this at? there is no way you can call a pitch accurately from that far back.....

1) Maybe it is an extreme version of the Gerry Davis System.

2) Or he forgot to wear his breathing apparatus, :eek:

3) Look at his pants. I bet he forgot his plate pants too.

I live in CA. What's normal here sometimes doesn't count as normal in the rest of the USA.

Maybe he just needs a little longer look at the pitch????

Sure he can, the fans do it all the time from behind the backstop...

Da** replacement umps!

Maybe the catcher has offensive body odor, and/or is constantly breaking wind.

Bad catcher. Ole.

Strikes and outs!

All he needs is a catcher's mitt to snag all the balls that get fouled back. Plus, he doesn't have to worry about clearing the catcher!

Notice the red flag! This must be LL's version of the Gerry Davis stance! Nice hi-waters too!

The sad part? He started the game like that...and actually the "red flag" are those gosh awful 2 tone ball bags that POS was trying trying to pass off as the next big thing in ump accessories!
