No offense, but most of my partners are significantly older than I, and they don't move so well anymore. One of 'em had hip replacement surgery a few years ago, and the other has such bad diabetes that his legs hurt too much to run the amount necessary for one umpire mechanics. So frankly, I just don't do it. I will peek over my shoulder if opportunity allows, but I realize that will only help so much.

But IF I have a partner that's capable (and IF we pre-game it), I'll go out only if there are no runners on. Doing it any other time runs the risk of screwing your partner by increasing the changes of putting him/her out of position.

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.
