Flyyyy like an eagle... Into the future...

Then again, it could also be the angle, since you can tell that the camera is lower than his shoulders.

Needs his rear foot planted better, though.

And shut up, 13. He's safe.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

He needs to stick the landing with BOTH feet...not just one.

Is that one of your programmed responses?

One more comment: I really hope nobody takes pictures of me umpiring and puts them on here.

As a certain VP candidate would say (and most of my relatives, for that matter)...

Heyyyyyyy...shaddduppa yo face. He learned from one of the best one-footers out there, except I do mine for outs. I dunno where he learned that safe crap. The nice young lady from down the street who has her picture in your NFHS rule book as our umpire rep also does one-footed outs.

Perhaps the three of us are RIGHT and the other 50,000 are WRONG. Ya ever think about that? Huh? Huh? Huh? Didja?

I hope he filed a flight plan.

Obviously, he shouldn't be running to a play making a signal. Of course, that helps raise the hands and arms above the shoulders.

I hate his plastic, four-wheel indicator and is that a chaw of tobacco between the cheek and jaw?

He wasn't. His method is to take a leap-step from the standing position. It gives the impression of him running in still photography, tho.

It does look like you have a nice pinch of Skoal in there though.

Wow, he looks pretty good. Love the blue pants and the 4 wheel indicator (I use one myself).

Great poise.

I give him a thumbs up and have no comments.

If you gotta sell the safe, they were out.

Still photography is great, isn't it. Looks like the last move of a tap routine.

Looks like the safe was well communicated. As long as the call was correct, what else matters?

I got dinged by an evaluator cause my pants "rode up when he went set."

Those are riding a bit as well.

Really. SHE must have been a real stickler.

My wife was half asleep when I read this post. Not anymore! I literally LOLed.

Awful, but funny!

What are you doing posting in bed?

I see Wade is doing what he does best, scaring children and making them cry.
