Date of Birth: December 7, 1987 Age: 19 Biography: I'm 19, umpire in Canada Location: Canada Interests: Wrestling, tits and wheels, baseball Occupation: Student Obviously, you are well versed in the Gerry Davis stance. For example, you are aware, of course, that the Gerry Davis Stance, which Tee was using in the photo, requires the umpire to be much farther back from the catcher, hmmmmm? You should attempt to have at least an idea of what you're talking about before you sound off. Tee's positioning in that photo is textbook for the Gerry Davis stance.

Maybe it is textbook Jerry Davis, but why would anyone stand that far back from the plate? How is one going to see pitches well enough?
After many years, I have changed to the GD stance. Yes, it puts you farther back, but I have never felt so confident calling pitches. I'm now getting through entire games without hearing a single chirp about a pitch. I'm sure I will stick with that positioning. Besides the view, I personally find two other advantages to the GD stance: (1) it is easier for me to remain absolutely motionless while tracking the ball, and (2) I can see better whether the batter offers.

You may think Garth is trying to bust your stones, but he isn't. You are talking about something that you don't know about. Use this as a learning experience and go learn about the Gerry Davis stance and how it works. You'll be better for it.
