    Yeah, I definitely agree. I misread @buckeyegators post and replied about tomorrow. With keagan only throwing 3 innings today, is it possible he starts her tomorrow against Vawter?

    First, apparently Cassidy McLellan is injured. If that's been discussed, I missed it. Any details?

    Also, can anyone who was watching on TV with replay (or at KSP with keen eye) explain the catcher obstruction call that we benefited from? I think it was maybe Skyler Wallace at bat and a strike got changed to a ball, catcher interference. The SC coach came out to complain for awhile.

    Didn't see that. While we all wanted the run rule, I think CTW wanted some data points given the lead we had in the closing innings. Game experience is different from practice experience.

    Ava dogged it down the line. If you have noticed, she has never shown up in the game again. CTW letting her know this is not acceptable. Good for him.

    TV guys said they called an illegal pitch, not catcher obstruction. I think that's the play you're referring to. Ocasio said there was no illegal pitch and she didn't understand the call.

    I wanted to say exactly that but was concerned about a thread awhile back from moderators that said parents read, players read, and we have to be careful what we say.

    There was an earlier defensive play that I thought was halfhearted in the same vein.

    That makes total sense. I thought I saw the umpire signal obstruction and that was the buzz of the fans in my section, but your explanation makes more sense. Thanks.

    Any theories on why we didn't see Vawter start yesterday?

    There was a fan carrying around a poster last night:

    Vawter's Favorite Teammate?

    Thanks. Thought it odd she was gone and worried she was hurt. Good for TW.

    That one loud Gator fan is kind of annoying.
