NCAA 3 Person Mechanics

[kcg NC2Ablu]

I am not debating with you (IRISHMAFIA) about asa and fed but when I mention something that is strictly answering in NCAA why would you try to put me down with a fact totally irrelevant to the question in which I was answering? so it sounds pretty silly to me to do such a thing... As for why u1 would be out... trap catch where right fielder decides to pull up instead of diving for it thus giving her time to make a throw to first. or if a sharp hit line drive that has catch/no catch or possibly fair foul situations where u1 would need to go and the batter runner rounds first to much for the player taking the cut off throw to second and a pick off throw back into second. Any variation on those would be PLENTY of reason why u1 would chase and why PU would need to be there for that call. So opinion or not... now way you can see anything or be in any posistion to make a call as u3.

Using a comparable distance that was, at that time, used in the softball world is putting you down?

Well, actually I once could on a 60'-65' field. And I will again especially now that I had my new bionic knee installed . And I know at least a couple members on this board that could accomplish that task and they don't have new knees.

I'm not saying it is easy, but very possible and requires some serious hustle. But then again, that is what we are supposed to be doing anyway.

I agree that it is not easy and that its totally possible. Thats just it though itsPOSSIBLE which is not what I would want. The PU has 52 to 54 feet to get in calling depth and position where as U3 has 80 or more feet(my masters degree was in marketing not math) to cover to get in OK position not the best possible position which in addition to hustle is a HUGE priority if not the #1 priority as an umpire. That being said the PU has the best opportunity to get in the best position and see the play/touch at first. And as for myself I know I COULD get there but it would be a struggle to get in the best calling position/depth and if I didn't do that then well I would feel bad for not doing my job.

Well, you have a good time doing whatever it is you do, I really don't care.

And, BTW, I don't think anyone really cares about your pedigree. It's not like the rest of us go out of our way to mention our PhDs.

well you insulted my intelligence so much I figured you should know that not everyone who you put down is as ridiculously incompetent as you play them out to be and also I figured I would mention something totally relevant to the fact that I have no IDEA how exactly far it is to first from third but I know its further than the distance from home to first.
