Why was Emma Lemley wearing glasses in the pouring down rain ?!

They're like safety glasses to see and protect her eyes. Beats a mask...
...I presume.

May need in lieu of contacts
Grip on the ball was the issue.

Contacts don't have the safety feature. Agryd the issue was grip.

I assume they are presciption lenses and she prefers that to contact lens
If she needs glasses, she seemingly wears contacts during her every day life. Since she doesn't wear glasses in the podcast or in interviews for the most part, it would be interesting to know if she does wear contacts ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/9/2025, 3:50:55 PM

Same reason swimmers wear them IN & UNDER the water?

Wearing goggles in a shower versus in the pool seems a little different ?

You're concentrating on the eyes, maybe you should be concentrating on
the grip of a wet ball.

Wet ball was a factor for sure

I assume so that she can see. Why else would she?
kingofcassell kingofcassell OP
Seems like it would be tough to see through all the water on her lenses
Or at least annoying for a pitcher ** Edited by kingofcassell at 5/9/2025, 3:58:49 PM

Clearly you don’t wear glasses….

Not when I’m working in the rain

Some folks don’t have that choice

Does your work involve trying to throw things in specific locations where
the accuracy is paramount? Because if not then it’s not really relevant.

It's like driving in the rain w/o windshield wipers

Exactly

Should she pitch with her eyes closed? Remember Ricky Vaughn without the
glasses?

So that she can see. They are prescription lenses.

A valid question could be does she wear contact lens
She doesn't wear glasses in the podcasts
