So was I. Evaluating. I would still like to know who told you to just call balls and not worry about it. Why don't you email me.

He said no such thing. Although I doubt any of the evaluators at UNT that weekend made the comments in question, the inference is still there. Some of them were not from the Dallas area. DNTXUM P is well within his rights to know if some of his people are giving bogus information.

Wyman still justifiably has his head in the clouds over the performance of his daughter last year. He is already planning on retiring and letting her support him after she turns pro in another 3 years

He is a great friend and I enjoy working with him when given the opportunity

Well, I assume you are talking about turning pro in something other than women's sports since none of these ladies make that good a money to comfortably support an entire family.

No, she is an outstanding outfielder. There was a slight bit of tounge in cheek involved with supporting him. But she had a super freshman season last year, going to the D-2 National Championships

Well no, it wasnt any of the evaluators ... like it said it was some d-1 umpires (not to drop any names) but they umpire ULL games so i assumed they fall under this classification. and again like i stated in the OP i chose not to take this advice. And Mr. Larry, I got to meet you briefly and am sorry I didnt get time to obtain one of your boards.

I'm 5'5". If there is a prototype out there for a new design for a catcher, I would be interested in seeing it. I just seem to get the stereotypical ones that are nearly as fat and maladroit as me.

As for the question: I adjust to the inside of the slot. (I'm not calling it a ball and penalizing myself with a longer game.) I prefer that to raising up, because (a) I get to keep my eyes at "top-of-strike-zone" level, and (b) raising up does not always get me enough.

OK. I hope he was just joking. If not, I will let James handle that. Either way, I will email you and let you know what I find out.

Did your trunk make it all the way back without the rope breaking?
