Throw coming from 3B side of field and BU1 is making the call from foul territory?

Yeah I think it was a bunt up the line and he moved into foul ground. I think it was in the fourth. And my goodness those uniforms are horrible. I looks like rainbow colored trim with a blueish-green shirt. Or is that greenish-blue? And is it ISF between inning mechanics to have all four umpires in the infield on the foul lines?

Just had an out-safe-**** call at 2B. Ouch.
Don't mind the between innings positioning, I prefer it.

BU2 in the C with a runner in 2B. Get a much better view from the other side on a pick-off

My video started buffering on a replay of a pitch. Wow, you would think with the second base umpire on the left field side of 2B (which I really don't prefer), you can see a runner on second leaving early. He kinda missed one.

Oh I was thinking we had a police officer behind the plate. I didn't realize it was a crossing guard. And the moment I turn it on I see a blown call at first base.

The differences are: Used either a volleyball or soccer ball The person with the ball must either "air dribble" or dribble the ball on the ground when moving. No real tackling, but there was plenty of contact. You could score three ways: Throw or kick the ball between the uprights below the crossbar - 1 pt. Drop kick the ball through the uprights over the crossbar - 2 pt. Throw the ball the ball between the uprights below the crossbar and is caught in the air by a teammate - 3 pt. Fun game, especially for us nerds who would routinely beat the "athletes" in gym class. Last edited by IRISHMAFIA; Tue Aug 12, 2008 at 06:59pm.

On the internet broadcast it is refreshing to listen to the sounds of the game without having commentators. You can actually here the plate umpire, players and the crowd without listening to the gums flap in the booth. ESPN should try this. Plenty of camera angles with an excellent picture.
What a blast it must be to call at this level.
