I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

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

Obviously the patent holder is not an umpire based on this statement:

Therefore, it is possible to determine if a pitch was a strike or a ball by noting where the ball has impacted upon the ground.
