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

2) Or he forgot to wear his breathing apparatus,

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

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

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????

Red Flag? ? ?
Did you notice he has his Red Flag tucked in his belt too?
That fits the picture perfectly.

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

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!

did you ever think maybe the catcher and batter moved forward instead of the PU moving back?
