Cleaning the pitchers Plate

[IRISHMAFIA]

You guys in the Southwest....do you think you have exclusive rights to a sweltering heat?

I'll take the heat you guys get any day compared to other areas. For example, where's Larry? Larry, tell them about the 95 degree/95 humidity under a big hot sun in the panhandle. And that is 7 AM. Don't bother taking a shower, it's a waste of time.

Yeah, I know it's tough in parts of the country, but sometimes it sounds like martyrdom in your areas. Everywhere, even in the Northeast, it can get outright and dangerously hot and nasty.

Meanwhile, back to the topic. I noted getting water and toweling off. And yes, I keep a water bottle on the field and will readily accept additional water from anyone who offers it. And the grass is where I stand between every play because that is where you get cool. I just don't like standing out there between innings

However, there is always someone within a second or two of the PP at the end of each half inning. If it needs cleaning, clean it in a professional manner. If your UIC tells you to clean it every half inning, do it.
