Pecos League Umpires Micah Scott and Scott Cotton join Evan and Bruce this week!

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2364678/open_sms] The two man umpire crew of Micah Scott and Scott Cotton are an indispensable and ever present part of the Pecos League's Mountain Division. Since opening day, they've travelled over 6,000 miles, stayed in a hotel every night and learned to cope with player and manager pleas and emotions for nine innings or more each game. An interesting look into a side of baseball that's not frequently discussed, in this episode we get to view the game from outside the player's or fan's point of view. Join Evan and Bruce for another great week in Pecos League action!  Pecos League [https://pecosleague.com/] SABR [http://www.sabr.org] Evan Katz [https://sites.google.com/view/baseballbythesea/home]Bruce McClure [http://brucemcclurenh.com]
