Maybe it's just a bad habit of mine, but I don't like turning my back to the outfield when I'm inside. That's how umpires get pegged.

Dave 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. |

If it is a line drive, yeah, I'll peek, but before every play, I scan the OF and know where the players are and what type of effort will be required on ever ball hit. I also know where the possible plays will be and avoid any potential throwing lanes. This may come as a shock to some , but ASA (nor anyone else of which I am aware) does not dictate a given path an umpire must take. And there is an allowance to change up your position should the defense play deep. As much as I like to stay a few feet off F4's shouder, I move around a lot to accommodate the fielder and my relative position to the possible plays. |
