Georgia getting hammered on IP

Sat. PM game

Getting called for being out of lane... by PU
Sure looks to me like the foot could be ON the line and not illegal...but I don't have Tivo..

(I posted this before I realized her earlier game had been discussed)

Definitely looks too close to call to me. Earlier today she was definitely outside the line.

I will venture a guess that she is out.

If you have to guess, she's not out

Of course, we have the angle thing going on. It might not be as close as it looks. I don't know the HP umpire, but I believe I've seen him at the WCWS before and he must be an outstanding umpire. I don't have any complaints, I just don't believe she is that outside the line, even with the angle, to call it. Especially now that the lines are basically gone.

I thought she was well outside the box on many that weren't called, and managed to get out of the inning. I think that when the line gets obliterated, that they should either rechalk the lines at the top of the inning, or stop calling it. It's a BS rule to start with, and makes the game even more unwatchable than it already is.

Gee, thanks, I really value the comments from someone who doesn't like the game to begin with..
Makes me wonder why the **** you are here in the first place.
