how is all of this different from a collision at the plate and the ball rolling on the ground? Like someone else said, "hard to sell with the ball on the ground."

Last week, I did my first rec game of the year. Had the most amazing smitty of a partner. He called a guy out at the plate with the ball rolling toward the mound. Sold the hell out of it, too, so much that the offense waited a couple seconds before complaining.

So naturally he shouts across the field to me, "Whaddya got?" Ugh.

My assignor had a great reply for whenever he was asked this question: "Heartburn."

Same artist, different song. But you're welcome there, Maurice.

Hey, can I be the gangster of love?
