That's crap! For calling the rules? I called it against a ranked team's ace this year - they were from about an hour away. The coach said they don't call that in our area - my smartass reply - Welcome to Charleston! The pitcher looked at me and asked "How am I supposed to throw my curveball?" I looked at the coach and said, "If that's not proof she's gaining an advantage, I don't know what is." He nodded in agreement and we went on to finish the game. I got her early and she corrected it. It doesn't bother me in the least to call that. But just like a crow hop or a leap or leaving early it has to be VERY obvious. Like this one . . .
