Taking her out was normal, but now that I think about it, I think you are right that not putting her back in was a message. That was the top of...
Agree that Ava dogged the play just assuming that the ball would be caught. That said, there's no way Ava makes it to 2B. She and Falby are from...
A straight reading of the rules supports Blue's call. He was unaware of the rule interpretation by the NCAA that deems it a Code of Conduct...
I was wrong and I stand corrected. While a plain reading of the rule supports Blue's call (runner out), it is trumped by a "Code of Conduct"...
You be the coach -- who do you send to the circle? Rothrock: after her long layoff, get her into the Friday/Sunday routine? Oxley: didn't pitch...
So South Carolina just took the lead over Arkansas, after being down 0-4. From a Gators' perspective for final year NCAA rankings hoping that we...
Definitely agree that illegal pitch *should* trump leaving early. Although it took Blue 35 minutes to figure it out at last week's game, runners...
Everyone agrees with that. But when does it become an illegal pitch and thus a dead ball -- when the pitcher takes the extra step. At that point,...
And this could really screw Falby and our other speedsters. Agree that it is unfair and flat nuts. But it seems to be correct via the rulebook....
A tip of the cap to MCB51 for today's PBP!
It was ruled a dead ball after the pitcher took another step. At that point it was an illegal pitch, not when she didn't release it normally....
ESPN is showing the credits next to the scoreboard box -- UF should warm up the bus.
If this pitcher wasn't an adult, the Ole Miss coach could get arrested for child cruelty.
Do they not have any other pitchers or do they just figure to save their bullpen since this game is toast for them.
This means she can't pitch the bottom of the inning, right? Double substitution.
Got out of the inning, but perhaps time for a pitching change?
NEW VERSION OF PITCH-OUT WITH GUARANTEED THAT RUNNER OUT? In today's game, we had Comia on 1B. The pitcher did a standard windup, pitching...
Ava is doing much better -- and lasting much longer -- than I expected.
This could be a new version of a "pitch out" that no one has thought of before. Cost to the offense, one ball, same as a pitch out.
Why do you say that?
