Yes he has the balls but you mean that is the first time the pitcher did that in 7 innings ?

Yes. But why does/should that matter?

If you have seen it before, and not called it, don't suddenly decide to call it in the 7th with the winning run on 3B.

For some reason, I seem to be seeing casual double touch a lot lately. By "casual" I mean obviously not a part of the pitcher's delivery, and not causing the batters any problems at all.

If it is not a game that matters, I have been telling the coach to watch his pitcher, and help her correct that before she gets into tournament play, especially championship play. Some of these pitchers are old enough (e.g. 16U) to have much better discipline when in the circle.

It is lazy and sloppy. I'd say the problem is more coaching than it is umpiring.

I agree with that. However, that was not the case this time.

Yup, I agree too. And in my recent state game, the first illegal pitch committed was also the last - in the bottom of the 10th.

It would have mattered if your answer was NO.
