I sent this link to Dora. Yes, she is awesome. All female crew tonight, Dora at the plate. I am so looking forward to this.

Who was the goofball behind the plate in the USA vs. Canada game? That's got to be the most uncomfortable stance I've ever seen. He looked like he was going to fall down when he stood back up. He also did his "strike" mechanic from the squat. Looked like a doofus to me.

I can assure you Bryan is NOT a doofus. This was his second term in the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in about six weeks' time, so before I called anyone a doofus or questioned their mechanics...

I call 'em like I see 'em. I've seen better mechanics from first year umpires.

Though I've never met the man, his reputation is that of a pretty good umpire. I've seen him a few times and he seems to utilize the extra wide stance. As long as he can get out of the way of the catcher when necessary, I don't have a problem with it.

Obviously sir, your opinion is uneducated and insignificant. I am sure Bryan will continue to enjoy his NCAA, WCWS and International assignments. Hopefully you will continue to enjoy your ND and SD assignments.

It may be insignificant but uneducated it is not and you also can't take it away from me since it's mine.

Your slowpitch helps you form an opinion that allows you to critique and bash? And this makes it educated? Glad you admit it's insignificance

As far as your opinion, your right......you deserve it...feel free to keep it.
