Crow hop is never called!

I think you need to edit your original post where you turned it on.

I never turn on email notification with web boards because I agree with you - it is very annoying.

Apparently, this web board allows you to set the default in your profile to turn it on, but turning the default off does not turn off your email notification for any thread where you used the posting option of clicking the email notify box.

Edit your post where you posted the link to that pitching coach's web site and click off "email notification."

That should do it.

Well, noob, since you have contributed nothing of substance to this thread for quite awhile (and that is giving you tremendous benefit of the doubt), here is the first ever award of the

I did not expect it to be overtaken by a group of individuals who only want to see their messages "in print", messages devoid of information or insight. I am surprised by the juvenile responses. I have seen juvenile umpires before - I just didn't anticipate that so many would be using this site.

As Tom has noted, there is a lot of useful information on this site. We all have learned from each other over the years, and hopefully will continue to. Hopefully, you, too, will stay on board. This is one of the best boards for gleaning information from fellow umpires.

However, even the best boards have their trolls. And sometimes, well, it is like watching a car wreck. You just can't keep yourself from looking, no matter how gruesome things may get.

DNT, Please let us know which rules they/umps are told to follow at THAT showcase, rules du jour, that is just too funny!! Let us know, too, how many hoppers/leapers are there, which states are the biggest offenders, & how many college coaches actually want a hopper so they can spend countless hours trying to break them of the bad habit! It'll be interesting, thanks

Why wouldn't a coach recruit a leaper or hopper? They obviously don't have to worry about it being called at the college leve. Why should the college coaches spend countless hours trying to break them of the bad habit. You have already said no college ump calls IP anyway. Why spend all that precious practice time to correct something that will not be called. I am sure the coaches have better things to do with practice time (like teaching their runners to leave the base early)

One more month to the one year anniversary! Since our troll seems to have dropped out, we need to think up some more foolishness to keep it going, doncha think?

[bkbjones]

Is it proper to call a pitcher for leaping when it's Leap Year? Wouldn't the fact that it is Leap Year make leaping legal?

[DNTXUM P]

How about a new rule that leaping is leagal only in odd #'d leap years.

[nubie]

How about they just make it legal, period! But, until then, you guys call it, can you handle that?

Actually, I was thinking more of yours as the "dalmatian" post.

Your post, Tom, began the second century of posts and JEL's ended the first century, as a century must contain 100, and you don't begin counting with 0.
