We all have been there. That guy just needs a good weekend clinic taught by some good instructors.

Didn't I tell you before that's how I roll?

Hey maybe that's a copy of Catcher in the Rye he's got in his pocket.

Anyone whose legs are not made of jello should be able to squat behind home plate 300+ times a night. I get tired of guys saying "oh I'm so old and my legs are so sore" as an excuse to not move from behind homeplate, not work homeplate or not work 2nd base in a 4 man system. However I would say that obesity is partly the result of genetics, even if it wouldn't hurt to get off the couch and do some running now and then.

Thanks Canada for quoting this poster (who I have very nicely placed on my ignore list)!!..

So Fitty, you advocate this stance for those of us who are in good enough physical condition to attempt it?

Geez, do we really need to find some picture of some young umpire out of some field somewhere and slam his stance and make fun of him? Yeesh, we all have been there. Maybe our stance was ok, but there was probably something else in our game that needed a lot of work.
We are all in this together. You slam others to just feel better about yourselves?

Chris Hickman...are you the same Chris who was hanging with Gilly behind the backstop at my game at Marina a couple weeks ago?

Yes, unfortunately that is the reality with a lot of people here. A lot of them lack any class whatsoever, including the person who posted the picture. No doubt this post will get deleted or edited. I also thought it was inappropriate to post a picture of somebody online for everybody to snicker at, but you've gotta admit it is an example of very bad form.

What's the difference of posting this photo to demonstrate a "don't do that" and answering some of the inane LL questions that get posted with "don't do that"?" The visual aid may actually be more beneficial.

I'm sorry you've decided not to get along with the orignal poster. He could you help you more than any other poster at this site, if you truly wanted to improve, that is.

Does it hurt when you talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time (and better yet - in the same sentence)?

There is a trend to be much higher than even that.

Unquestionably, this guy is too low.

I have them both on mine. Saves time that way. But I admit to peeking depending on where they have both placed their insane posts. This time they are fat bashing again. They both must have been sat on as children.

That was my exact thought when I saw this.........I bet he is still catching at some level..........

and you are right.........he wont be able to do that (not that he should want to) in a few years......
