Not working for me, which sucks!

Darn, some perfectly crappy foreign umpires to make fun of and I dont even get to.

This blows.

My son runs in the kitchen...Dad, she Yelled TIME TIME...ALLRIGHT PEOPLE, TIME IS NOT CALLED UNTIL I SAY SO!

I guess a batter stepped out and the pitcher hesitated....ALLRIGHT PEOPLE is a new one on me...

They must be on a very strict time down there same happened an inning before where PU stepped out 3rd base side and pointed at either the Canadian catcher or Taiwan batter and said YOU CAN"T DO THAT. LETS GO.

Does anybody know why the Taiwan batter was called out in the bottom of the 1st when she tried to bunt with the R1 on 2nd?

Was watching the game on Canadian tv broadcast and had to turn off the volume, the announcer and commentator were awful.

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?
