Perfect handling. Explain as you make the call and then nobody should question you.

Last night I had runners at 2nd & 3rd. Pitcher didn't stop. "Dead Ball! That's a balk! He never stopped! You score, you go to third!"

POOR BALL, I liked that ball and now He's DEAD!

"Blue, explain to me why he balked."

"I already did!"

If he continues dump him. Especially well after the play.

The name of the association Steve belongs to is SDCBUA. San Diego County Baseball Umpires Association.

SDS posted: "Of course, there are associations with Blue in the title, like your group, the Fox Valley Blues, and the group I was with last year, the San Diego Blues." (post 86)

PWL got the name right, the tense wrong.

PWL? PWL is now posting under "Steven Tyler"?

Now things become a little clearer as to why so many of his posts have had to be deleted. It makes sense now.
