Use of the rosin bag does not require a wipe in ISF nor ASA; only NCAA specifically requires you to wipe off the drying agent (you put on to dry the hand) onto what is probably wet.

Now, spit is another thing; it is clear you must wipe after going to the mouth (and spitting into the hand has to be considered the same).

Going for help on a check on a called strike?

Dakota Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:36pm

I think he wanted catcher's obstruction.

Look at the back of her RED shorts. NO White, and she is using rosin pretty
regularly.

WOW luck of the draw with Watley on 2B in that situation.

IRISHMAFIA Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:46pm

Boy, can she run or what?

Dakota Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:52pm

Bustos 3 run HR!

whiskers_ump Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:52pm

light Outs

IRISHMAFIA Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:53pm

Wow, what a shot by Bustos

Dakota Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:55pm

I wonder if Bustos has an endorsement contract for that Sprite she is drinking... ;)

Thanks steve.

At times it looks like she might be spitting, others you can see she is blowing
cause dust flies.

Is it me, or are the letters on the hat just a bit too large?

IRISHMAFIA Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:05pm

Osterman to clean up

Dakota Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:10pm

With Abbot getting the start here, and Osterman in relief, I guess that means Finch starts the gold medal game.... 'cause it will be Japan, again.

Sure looked like CO to me - both batter's reaction and catcher's reaction.
