The call was back foot (left foot) was on ground out of box (behind plate)when contact with ball was made. |

Did the batter step back out of the box after the pitcher started her windup?
If yes, fine - batter out. If no, then the PU should not have allowed the pitch.

Behind the plate...not behind the box...when contact was made with ball....probably had to be after the pitcher started her wind up? Last edited by socalumps; Tue Aug 12, 2008 at 02:22pm. |

I just watched a little clip of the game. BU went out on a foul ball hit up and almost in the stands. The BU first signalled with their left arm that ball was foul, followed by a hammer. Why in the world would that ball need to be signalled foul? A hurricane couldn't have brought that ball back fair or close to fair. Dave

Your point is valid, but ...
Both ASA and (at least, in the past) ISF teach to make a "first touch" signal, to help your partners judge a possible appeal on a tag up. The fair or foul signal is immediate on touch; the hammer indicates the catch/out. If a foul ball is dropped, you then signal dead ball; if a fair ball is dropped, you either continue to pump fair, or safe signal for no catch.

The differences are: Used either a volleyball or soccer ball The person with the ball must either "air dribble" or dribble the ball on the ground when moving. No real tackling, but there was plenty of contact. You could score three ways: Throw or kick the ball between the uprights below the crossbar - 1 pt. Drop kick the ball through the uprights over the crossbar - 2 pt. Throw the ball the ball between the uprights below the crossbar and is caught in the air by a teammate - 3 pt. Fun game, especially for us nerds who would routinely beat the "athletes" in gym class. Last edited by IRISHMAFIA; Tue Aug 12, 2008 at 06:59pm. |

On the internet broadcast it is refreshing to listen to the sounds of the game without having commentators. You can actually here the plate umpire, players and the crowd without listening to the gums flap in the booth. ESPN should try this. Plenty of camera angles with an excellent picture.
What a blast it must be to call at this level.
