First college level game...

[azbigdawg]

Its a piece of cake.... one pitch at a time, If you've been doing club ball for any length of time, you've probably done better games than you will see at the J.C. Div III or Div II level...

Advice? None.

Congrats, though! I do have plenty of congrats for you.

I hope its good ball ... its a Div I school. I actually have never seen the team play before .. but I've worked their fund raising tournament before.

It's fall ball. Relax, and enjoy. Are you working a three man crew? If so, there are some practices allowed in NCAA (such as rimming), that aren't traditionally accepted mechanics in ASA.

yep, three man... and "rimming" is that a after game locker room thing?

I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

I know I did.

To rim, (rimming) is where the umpire stays outside the diamond even though the ball is hit to the outfield. For example, with no runners on, a ball is hit to left field. U3 chases. Rather than come inside the diamond, U1 stays outside, watches as the runner touches first and then, while still outside the diamond, takes the runner to second. This keeps all the elements of a possible play at second in front of him; the ball, the runner, the base to which a pending play may be developing, and the fielder who possibly will be making the play.

yes, sir. Been working on my rimming (lol... I hate that term) mechanics all this summer... even do it while in 2-man mechanic mode (on a clean shot to the out field) as I have been told to by other umpires like whiskers and a few others... wish FED and ASA would make this their standard.

Okay, now you started it.

This mechanic provides no more advantage in this situation than a button-hook does. That is, unless you cheat on your button-hook.

depends on who you are working with. If it is any of the boys from Lafayette, then yes they do a lot of rimming after the game, especially if my buddy JM is around

Just know from going to Lafayette and working the UL Mardi Gras tournament every Feb. Those boys in Lafayette follow JM around like ducklings following their mother duck.

Sander, your English is much better than my Dutch - as you well know. How is the family?
