I married a ball player, so I generally avoid describing a "clueless spouse" because it will probably end up being me. But I will tell on my friend's wife.

He couldn't make it to the game, but his daughter made a great catch in center. I texted him this: "Your daughter in center. Bases loaded. 2 out. The ball is drilled, right on the screws to the gap in right center, a bit shallow. Your daughter takes 5 or 9 steps, dives and comes up with the catch. Just wanna make sure you know how good it was." And it was a great catch. The umpire is smiling and shaking his head and the other side is giving her props in addition to the usual suspects going bananas.

My buddy replies "Thanks. My wife texted that she 'caught a ball, but then she fell over.'"

We are a split family. Son plays baseball, daughter plays softball so we spend many weekends a year at different locations. My MIL often travels with my DW to wherever to watch. DW keeps the book so MIL often texts me updates. She is kind enough to do it but also loves her grandkids so every update is suspect. A dribbler to the pitcher that he fields and throws down the RF line is a triple to her. We refer to these as "Grammy Hits" in our house. As she's learned more about the game, she will text and tell me whether it was a legitimate hit or a Grammy hit!

You not allowed to record errors,it is the coaches fault she can not catch the ball. DD made a nice play a short, not her fault 1st basemen on our Team is not 7' 5" and can jump. They might have caught it.

Ah so you've seen us play...
