Bully for you. I believe every word. All the way up the RF line? How about short RF where you run out on fly balls? Field conditions change, do you check the field before every inning? Why not? Field conditions change. You also oversee your partner to make certain he checks the field? How fun are you to work with? Tell you what, you come waltzing over to tell me to check the field, you better bring more with you than that crappy smirk on your face with you, Chowder.
