  • Is this minor league ball ?

  • @TheCHERUB181 - Yup. Independent.

  • I have never played above high school ball & I know how to properly do a double switch. It really bugs me that independant league coaches & umps don't know how to do this.

  • @CokeMachineGlo - yeah, it's pretty crazy that the manager didn't know how to do a double switch. especially in a league with no DH.

  • You are dissapointing me now Wally!!

  • this frustrates me just listening to this

  • The Better Question how did that bunt turn out lol?

    It's pretty keen on how Wally used "the deception" to pass information.

  • @Stonecutter589 an independant league that oly lasted a year. wouldn't have lasted that long without wally!

  • Jackie used to coach at the St Paul Saints. He lived in the same appartment building as me.

  • I remember Tony LaRussa, who managed the AL's White Sox and A's previously, messed up the first time he tried a double switch with the NL's Cardinals. The umpires didn't allow him to do it.

  • What kind of bs league is this? Wally should also tell the opposing pitcher what to throw.
