ok........had to do it!! Went to the school....called her out of class....lol.....now is that just crazy or what?? anyways.... told her to demonstrate her pitch for me AGAIN...lol.... I was WRONG WRONG WRONG on my description.... I put that extra step in there.... she's NOT pitching illegal...... this is actually how it goes....

1. feet on plate, hands apart at each side
2. brings hands up together pointed at catcher
3. leaves glove pointed at catcher, drops ball all the way back into her backswing then windmills and delivers the pitch.

Perfectly legal pitch.....

What the ump was calling IP was she was saying the pitch started BEFORE her hands come together while they are at their side trying to use the POE on page 152 as her hand CAN'T pass her hip but 2 times....

I am confidant in my pitchers technique now that she is pitching a legal pitch and will argue it to my death .... if this ump wants to call an IP on EVERY pitch she pitches then we will have ONE heck of a long game next Tuesday night! lol

Thanks you guys and sorry for my description mistake but she goes so fast its hard to catch it all....lol

Now I want to call an IP, just to see your reaction :)

This really has you riled up.

LMBO!!! You wouldn't dare!! lol:eek:

But you are right.... it does get me riled up.... just something in my blood I guess.... if I'm right, admit I'm right but if I'm wrong then I want to know why so I can fix it.... just the kinda person I am.... Ball is our life.... eat, drink, live for softball!!! If any of you are in South MS let me know.... we'll show ya a darn good time ;)

Ummm, well, OK, (he says to himself), be nice....

Or what! :D

Of course, if I knew you well, and had your game tonight, YOU BET I'd call an IP! (First chance I had with no runners on and your DD pitches a BALL.) ;)

LMBO!!! You guys crack me up!! :D

Nope
 

Nope, coachfanmom, you are fine. You have added a ray of sunshine to this board.

Someone else, however, is trying to rain us out...
