seems like more and more unless there is contact, calls are not getting made. Had a tourney this weekend and one brutal missed call.
Wild Pitch/Passed ball, batter comes out of the box probably 6-8 feet forward towards the pitcher and is standing there, my pitcher running in stops and goes around her my catcher just flipped ball but P in the avoidance of the player in no mans land - late getting there and runner safe.
Asked ump, he asked for help said they "saw nothing", but then again these two missed a ball that landed right on the chalk over 3B. Was not their best day.
But I can say that I have seen probably 20-30 instances in last several seasons where I would say Intereference on batter would of been appropriate call, but no contact, no call.
