Just for referance and ease of use, with a helmet, just grab it in the cage as thought you are trying to grab your nose, then lift it off. No hat to worry about so the chin side grab is not needed. also on most HSM that is a bit uncomfortable as the plastic can be a bit large.

I to agree on selling the call, specifically on the 1st one, Bang that kid out.

I don't see where you could get ripped on this, as you are right. I was going to mention this, as well as the position at third base, but you beat me to it.
