I don't have the DCP-UX, I have the DCP-U, which seems to be made of the same material and I have had this CP for 4 seasons. No problems with flaking.

I've had the sit where the batter is still in the batter's box and there is a double hit, but never when the bat and the ball collide while in mid air. And you're right, I won't ever forget this...

I really should have listened to him, would have made this all go away. I don't know why, maybe it was because he wasn't adamant enough.

Blown call gone bad....

I had "the game to remember" this weekend. Unfortunately it wasn’t one I am particularly proud of. I need a critique of the situation, to help me learn from my mistakes.

PU's call was right, foul ball. This can't be a foul tip because it did not go directly to the catcher's mitt/hand; it went to the catcher's equipment (assuming she had shin guards over her knees).

So, for ASA, technically (not setting your timer for 1 minute more) you have to call the first pitch, THEN start your timer?? HMMMM :confused:

USSSA must listen to umpires better than ASA. :eek:...

You had the IFF rule in effect, but is it applied here? I don't think I would have called the infield Fly. Since F3 was playing in front of 1st, and the ball was hit 5-10 feet behind 1st base, near...

F5 is fielding a batted ball, and B/R runs into her, you've got DEAD BALL, B/R is out!!! The delay by B/R has nothing to do with it.

Seems to be a textbook case of interference to me.

The only thing that would be constant is the angle the umpire had when the tag was made. If the umpire is calling a WCWS she has been trained to move toward the play...

Sounds like the ump grabbed into his bag of thin air and grabbed whatever he came up with.
