Check Swing Mechanic

don't understand it either. I also don't like the one word "swing" question. I also feel like answering, only if my wife would let me. What is wrong with saying "did she go"?

She didn't, she was only breathing hard!

Maybe somethings along that line is what is wrong with it.

Sorta like, "Hit her in the box."

"No blue, on the ankle."

I'm pretty sure "swing" was last year.

We are allowed to say "did she go" this year. I always say that and never got dinged.

Last year was the big "one word" command/question type deal.

"swing?" "ball?" etc.

I take the mask off with my left hand, take a step toward the appropriate base partner, and use the one word "swing" - usually preceded by the partner's name. I can't imaginge pointing to a partner with my mask hand.

Almost identical to what I do, except instead of using my partner's name, I usually just say "partner" before the question "swing?"

Is that followed with a do-si-do?

correct me if I am wrong but is this referring to the ASA Mechanic?

if it is this makes no sense. I know in NCAA your supposed to take your mask off with your left hand get from behind the catcher to where its highly visible and ask the question of swing however your supposed to phrase it. I usually make very good eye contact with my partner so that they know I am comming to them for the check swing and arent caught off gaurd then I will ask the question of "swing?" I have also been told that it is ok to say "do you have a swing?" pr something to that effect. thats in reference to NCAA. PONY that is also accepted. and if it isnt I am sure my local UIC will see this and correct me.
