Unless that pitch rolls under the plate or over the backstop, I’m going to have a Steeeerrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!!!!!!!

I'm having a hard time visualizing a pitch rolling over the backstop....

The sad part is that Michael actually uses that phrasing on every strike he calls, swinging also.

Been many years since I verbalized a swinging steeeerrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!!!!!!!
Perhaps for the PONY Nationals I'll fall inline with the local yokels and yell fooooouuuuuuullllllll ball on anything off the bat that's not fair.

Mike, you can go ahead and do that. Remember I am on the 16's now. I am sure I will see what you just described 20 times on day one alone.

Mike you and I are on the 18's and since were not going to be judged on the manual I was thinking of wearing a ball bag out on the bases.... you think I could hold that new titanium mask in my ball bag between innings?

The mask is supposed to be shipped to YSU and I'm hoping it gets here by Tuesday or Wednesday. If we partner up, it would be an honor for you to be the first to hold my new mask in your ball bag between innings as you trot in from umpiring the bases.. Of course we'll have to cordinate whether we'll both be wearing one or two ball bags and then there's the color issue. I'm there for you though.
