Kinda wierd...but I need help

H hotcorner3210+ posts
I am a 3rd baseman..so you know that a cup at this position is important. I mean you gotta protect the stuff. But the problem I have is that ever pair of sliding shorts that I have used, the cup sticks out the top of where it slides in. Does anybody else have this problem or use a product or something that fixes this problem? Any help please!

Happened to me batting in HS. Ball in the dirt, took a funny bounce, rode up my leg, the usual agony ensued, felt better and played the rest of the game. 2 days later one of the jewels swelled up the size of a grapfuit. Dad took me to the doctor, he sent me right over to a urologist. When the ball hit it detached my teste from what ever holds it in place. It then twisted and cuttoff the circulation and was dying. I was rushed to emergency surgery and luckely everything went ok. Spent 2 days in the hospital in unbelievable pain. I was back playing two weeks later. Hit the showers after my first game back. My 15 teamates laughed themselves into tears at my new baldness. And also called me twisticle the rest of the season!
Only if I had been wearing a friggen cup!

FIT THE CUP IN THERE AND WEAR IT!

Actually, It wasn't sad at all. I laughed right along with them. They were my teamates ya know!
Point is....where the cup!

For the original poster. Did the cup come with the sliding pants? If not, that could be the problem.
But if you are just having trouble getting it to slide in the pocket try putting Gold Bond Medicated powder on the cup then sliding it in. You can also use baby powder. While your at it, throw a bunch of it on your business...believe me its all good!

lets just say that team didnt get a call the rest of the game


Even if you were just kidding, this was a bad choice of words.....not even kidding....dont bring grief down on our fraternity by alluding to any unethical behavior.....


....but here is my advice...if you are going to umpire, get used to being hit with baseballs, its an occupational hazard.....and if you are going to be real umpire, invest in and always wear ALL the protective gear........especially with kid baseball.....
