officialtony Did you notice he has his Red Flag tucked in his belt too?😃 That fits the picture perfectly.😉
DG phillips.alex wrotewhere is this at? there is no way you can call a pitch accurately from that far back.....Sure he can, the fans do it all the time from behind the backstop...
SanDiegoSteve All he needs is a catcher's mitt to snag all the balls that get fouled back. Plus, he doesn't have to worry about clearing the catcher!
ozzy6900 Notice the red flag! This must be LL's version of the Gerry Davis stance! Nice hi-waters too!
umpd1uc The sad part? He started the game like that...and actually the "red flag" are those gosh awful 2 tone ball bags that POS was trying trying to pass off as the next big thing in ump accessories!
midtnblu did you ever think maybe the catcher and batter moved forward instead of the PU moving back?
JugglingReferee midtnblu wrotedid you ever think maybe the catcher and batter moved forward instead of the PU moving back? ...and the grounds crew moved the plate, mound and planted new grass for different baselines, while the coaches moved the bases. 😀
umpd1uc ...don't forget the backstop, fences, dugouts, fans, irate parents, concession stand, movie theatre, laudry-mat, and 2 fast food franchises
LakeErieUmp I'M wondering who taught the catcher to hold his bare hand IN FRONT OF his shin protector like that.
BigUmp56 Maybe the umpire's a left over infielder wannabee. He likes to crouch and creep up as the pitch is being delivered. Tim.
blueump Only one time have I ever seen somebody so far out of position: Check out the top of the tree!
RPatrino Ok, Ok.....Smitty, just wait until the cat gets a little closer before you chase him up here!!! Duh' Ok Charlie.... Bob P.
