If you knew how huge my buddy Darrell is, you might want to consider a softer approach :p Hell, my neck still hurts from looking up at him in Louisville in November :D

We use the vertical double-fister on the harwood and the diamond to let partner know he nailed a call.

Re-read my "opinions" comment a few times. You might get it then.

If not, I guess there are plenty of Burgundians in Michigan (a reference to Hagar the Horrible - Google it).

I dunno.
Just a quick sign of appreciation of a good call., [fists stacked].
It seems more subtle than jumping up and down and saying, "Great call! Great Call !! Udaman! UDAMAN!!!" :)

sometimes ya gotta show the $&*^s that its strike THREE

I like clicking over to that third out - which I will leave on there after the end of one game until the beginning of the next!


yeah Im gettin to be an old fart too

I got me one of them there clickers that only has 3-2-2.

I dunno know about it. Still havent been brave enough to try it on the field.

I like the Schutt plastic one with the optic yellow wheels.

Easy to read, especially at night, and with an inning wheel that can be used to track the runs in the leagues that require the umpires to do so.

I agree. Great way to show support for your only friend on the field.

I dont do the various "good call" signals. I was working with a PAC10 NCAA guy this weekend and he was PU. I had a banger double play. I'm moving to position.. he was holding thumbs up. Pretty subtle that one.

Why don't we just start doing chest bumps? :rolleyes:
Spike the indicator? :rolleyes:
Stand and pose? :rolleyes:
Stretch out our shirt? :rolleyes:

Is the whole world becoming some weird combo of the NBA / NFL?

I was thinking high five then low five followed by a double fist pump.
