Bummer. The offense continues to really struggle and can't catch a break.

OK I'll bite, what highest level of ball did you play? 

Not that it's going to make any difference but 2 years as catcher in University College.

An experienced catcher will tell you to put your chin down on a ball in the dirt. Let the mask do its work.

But when you're a beginner it's not easy to do because your instinct reaction is to turn your head or pull your head back. Instinct is to hide from the ball, not fall into it.

And most of the time you learn the hard way by getting clocked in the ear by turning your head or getting clocked by a ball to the chin or throat when you look up.

Rengifo SZN!

What if we went back to not wearing red jerseys like the first month or so of the season? We haven’t been very good since they started wearing them again

I hear University College is a good school.  I tried to get in there after I graduated from Senior High High School, but I couldn't get in because I had bad grades in Junior High Middle School.
