LOL ... just last Saturday:

I'm PU, pitcher CLEARLY lands WAY outside of the 24" lane toward 2nd base while pitching - I ring up the IP. Coach yelling, "She's been pitching like that for years - no one has ever called that!!!" Yada yada. Rest of the game she pitches close to that 24" but never out of it.

5 games later, same team, I'm waiting for the game to end so I can take the bases on the next game. PU dings her on the very same thing. Coach yells, "Come on blue - NO ONE has ever called that." I'm outside the field, but about 5 feet from coach. Just loud enough for him to hear it, I say, "Really?" He sees who it is and skulks back to the dugout.
