Always "Play" to start the game...
Year or so ago, worked some Cal State Fullerton scrimmages in the off-season. Worked with a well respected, long-time D1, Big West guy. He told me to mix it up some. Dont say "Play" every single time. --Always verbalize, even with no runners. --Mix it up...Use "Play" "Here we go" or late in the game, close game , runners on "We're going" and point.. I asked if that how its done at that level. He said yes, you rarely hear "Play" every single time. Interpreted as little league-ish. I use "Play" at the start of the game and start of each inning. I use "Here we go" most of the time. And I bust out the "We're going" once or twice. Works for me, and the players at this level know whats going on. My 3 cents |

If I have the plate, I will tell you that I am going to put the ball in play after every dead ball situation.... and I will!

Others have answered In the begining of one's career I would suggest SAYING PLAY after every TO, stoppage etc. UNTIL you get comfortable. Then once you gain experience I am on board with Tee. Pete Booth

I just worked a scrimmage with a Pac 10 umpire. He say's that for 09, they want them putting the ball back in play after any and every dead ball situation, regardless of runners on base or not. Seems a bit much and un-necessary, but that's what he said they're going to have to do next season.
