That is to score a critical run late in the game with a runner on third, do a fake bunt and pull the bat back into the catchers mask blocking her vision and the ball goes to the backstop hoping the umpire did not see or hear it. I won a tournament in Vegas one year doing just that hoping the Blues had no clue. Got away with it.
I am curious as to why none of the Blues who have posted here don't realize that this is taught by coaches. But I am glad they have no clue. Keep it up Blues, "the catcher must have been too close......Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Umps where dupped again!
Hey Sam, do I still owe you a cigar. Your SD friend from long ago.
So I was between games and watching the beloved DD's team of one of our very own esteemed heybucket members...
I was in regular clothes watching from behind the back stop, observing the umpire and watching the game. I dont know if they knew if I was an umpire or not, I would tend to doubt it.
A spanish girl is up to bat and the catcher is getting close.. so fellow parents of a very own heybucket.com member figure out the catcher is close and are scrambling to get the message to the batter to hit the catcher.. So I hear one say "tell her in spanish to hit the catcher".
Of course those particular parents couldnt get it together quick enough to tell this batter to hit the catcher with a bat, so the batter hit the ball instead... but the parents gave it the ole college try.
A couple of weeks ago a catcher threw the ball hitting a diving runner in the ribs. Imagine my suprise when I looked around and there were no defenders.... the runner did not take such a big lead after that.
Are we duped? or is it perhaps part of the game? Dunno.. it your game. You tell me. "Break it up" = kill the 2nd basemen, am I duped?
you are right she is a very good player. However, coming on here and
