Anyone else think Van Der Linden is leaping?

Watched the John Hopkins/Syracuse lacrosse semi between softball games.

The announcers were knowledgeable of the game, the rules and instead of criticizing the officiating when something happened that a team didn't like, they explained the situations and how the rules applied. Much more professional than what we are witnessing in OKC.

Back to softball, haven't seen the camera span to a pick-off play yet as it was happening. And an 8 y/o girl throwing a ball is definitely more entertaining than the game on the field. All they did was talk up this kid (nothing against the kid, I hope she does well), yet the camera never showed the pitches. Hmmmmm.

Now these idiots are explaining how the ball is suppose to catch some of the strike zone, like they actually know what the strike zone is.

I wonder if they could pass an umpire's test?
