I have heard that before. I also heard, just a couple of weeks ago, a fan go ballisitic on a fly ball that I called fair. "That was foul. It was on the line!"

Next day of the same HS District Tournament as my OP. Runner gets picked off third by a sharp catcher. Angry at herself, she jerks off her helmet. U3 issues a helmet warning to the team. Coach says, "But Blue -- she put it back on."

called 3rd strike at the knees and on the inside corner, right in that corner (low and inside) that I will call a strike at. I ring her up, I hear "That's ok, even if you hit that you wouldn't have been able to do anything with it." Then I hear a guy sitting next to that lady say "well I think that is why she has been throwing them there" ............priceless

Hands Part of the Bat

It happens every year. Just the other day, there was as girl was hit by a pitch...The defensive coach yells "Hey Blue, the hands are part of the bat."

I let it got, and as the same coach was going to the third base coaches box between innings he stopped and said "That ball hit her in the hands and the hands are part of the bat."

My response: "Coach, find me a sporting goods store that sells the hands with the bat, and I'll give you that call."

HS Game 3rd inning
Home team at bat
Girls in HT dugout are chattering away with all the usual chants and cheers which they had been doing in the two previous innings.
Finally the visiting catcher turns to me and asks, "Hey Blue, can you make their team be quiet?"

"Oh my God that was outside. How can she hit a pitch so far outside? That pitch was so outside. That is a terrible call. That was outside".


Good lordie, if youre gonna whine at least have the location a semblance of correct.
