USA vs Japan
 

Boy, did BU just kick a call at 2B

WOW, was that a generous 3rd strike on the USA batter?

Flowers, Watley, and Lowe, smells like a run. :)

Mike,

Was that an illegal pitch on Lowe? Looked like the Japan gal went to roisn
bag, did not wipe, then spit in her hand.

In a 0-0 game in the top of the sixth, why arent they sac bunting watley to get the runner in scoring position? And looked to me like lowe got a pretty generous call, not sure it got her hands, and she went a long way around on it anyway.

Not sure, my screen saver kicked in right then. However, this pitcher did that all last year during the World Cup of Softball

Not 100% sure, but I believe this pitcher was left home last year during the world cup. Japan did not want the US to see her.

PU got a little carried away on that 2nd strike. Went in a 3rd strike mode.

Been there, done that. :D

PU just sold a 2nd strike. Caught Nuevy off guard. Batter said, "but blue, that's only the 2nd strike". To which the umpire responded, "yes, but it was a damn good 2nd strike"

USA may be in trouble. Just don't look comfortable at the plate.

Wiggle that mouse now and then. :D

I agree if the call was for a hit batter. I would have said illegal pitch watching
the Japan gal go to rosin then appeared to spit in hand.

Now would not be a good time for an illegal pitch.

I have seen several times where the japan pitcher appeared to never wipe her hand after going from rosin bag to mouth to ball and I just started watching in the 5th.
