Bottom line she pitched illegal many more times than she was called. Their first game Saturday she was only called once, but was illegal many more times. Like the rule/hate the rule -- it is the same rule as before only now there are lines. Oh and Cat don't leap either.

These umpire are better than me, they have shown that simply by being there, they still make mistakes and goofs (did you see the plate umpire get bowled over by the catcher trying to make a catch on a pop-up? What was she looking at? Same umpire blew the home run cal in the first GA/WA game yesterday). But the part I hate most is that they appeared to not have the courage to make the right call (illegal pitch) all the time and consistently.

Did you see the base umpire wonder in while the PU was getting chewed out for the batter getting hit by the pitch, looked to me like the pitch was a strike when it hit her? But why in the world would your partner cam wondering in and talk sideways to the coach (just like the CSI Miami guy)? The coach said, "She doesn’t need your help!" and he was right.
