skull session
I will be in OK city this week. There is a skull session planned. Anyone have something that I can bring up to be discussed and answered by NUS.

Thanks, Ron

Skull session!!! Better wear a helmet, some of those folks have some pretty hard heads.

But now that you asked, bring up dumping the LBR and see what type of look appears on their face......and then run for your life

After you get done with LBR.. ask them about exploring the idea of incorporating more NCAA mechanics.

My friend is going there too.. have fun. Wish I were going!

Sure. And I guarantee they have no more a valid answer keeping it than I can get anywhere else.

BTW, "because it is a live ball game" isn't a valid answer.

How about adjusting 8-2-F-6 so BRs do not need to have eyes in the back of their heads to avoid being out due to F2 muffing the 3K ball?

Bad timing.

If you want ASA umpires to act like NCAA umpires, then the ASA umpires have to look like NCAA umpires.

Make that outside pitch hittable, so Kruc doesn't throw down his headset in disgust and start mumbling to himself and I don't keep breaking tv sets.

Keep the existing plate and draw two lines say 4 inches in from the left and right edges running lengthwise with the plate. The line draw on the left side (3rd base side) is the outside corner edge for LH batters. Use the opposite line as outside corner for RH batters. In either case, keep inside corner as it is for both.

Something for everybody. (especially 5' 2" DD)

Mike,

Is "that is how we do it in FP" an ok answer?

Those were NCAA umpires. ASA elite umpires do better.

As a follow up. Four of the WCWS umpires are ISF and elite. The one KruK mumbled about is not according to ASA info.
