USA vs Canada
On now. A couple of IP's called on Abbott. It looks like they are calling her for lifting the foot off of the front of the rubber.

He stopped calling them, but looks to me like she hasnt changed her delivery at all. Still lifts the left foot, steps slightly forward then pitches.

Candrea argued it for 5 minutes and he knows she is illegal. Not sure why you would not address making your pitchers legal before you got to the olympics.

The same reason they don't before their HS pitchers go to a state tournament, or their college pitchers go to a regional/SR/WCWS. Because they are a) hoping to get away with it, or b) have been getting away with it.

I am surprised they didn't get Osterman the other day because she leaps and it is never called.

[cynicism] Wait until she pitches in the medal round. Then we'll see the equalizer calls. [/cynicism]

1. She wasn't pulling it off the pitching plate after the discussion.
2. He was stalling, giving Finch time to warm up if he needed to use her.
