I agree with most, but, this was a 3 umpire crew. There is always someone at 1st or 3rd with the same view as a coach.

Bottom line, just like Cat Osterman, you can't call illegal pitches on Alicia Hollowell, or any top pitcher, and continue to call at that level. If she does something uncommon, yeah, but her standard delivery, just like everyone else's, you call it, and back to ASA rec ball for you.

As Mike has often quoted the Penn coach, you call it their way, or you don't get to call it.
