Hey ... "Not gaining an advantage" people...
If she's not gaining an advantage by doing it, why doesn't she simply stop?

Because thats the way she pitches 'more gooder'.

That long, huh?
BTW, NC#, the tie does go to the runner.

So... what you're saying is that it's a myth that the tie goes to the runner is a myth.
Which I happen to agree with. The book states Quote:

FullCount-It is not ball speed but batter reaction time. The Florida Pitcher was subtracting at least a foot or two from the batters' time to see the ball when she leaped. |

PS - you can find exactly the reverse wording elsewhere in the book... even the book assumes there is no such thing as a tie.

The closest I could find was in the rule supplement (1.L in the book I have open) dealing with the appeal when the runner passed first base "before the throw arrives" without touching. I can accept that the offense loses the benefit of winning the tie if they fail to touch the base.

Keep in mind that the touch of the base and the gloving of the ball, however we might try to define them, are not instantaneous events, though we treat them as such in practice. They do not occur at infinitesimally small intervals of time.
The two events certainly can occur at intervals far too short for the human eye and mind to discern. Therefore, we can have an apparent tie.

i can not fathom why people think that the ball hitting the 1b mitt and the runner's foot touching the bag could not happen at the same exact time.
if one car leaves 10 minutes from point x and goes 20mph and the second car leaves point x and goes 30mph, then at some point in time they are going to be tied even if it is for 10 to the millionth second. seems reasonable. |

Why can you not fathom it. At BEST, one can say the two unrelated events happened so close together that the human eye cannot discern the difference. That doesn't mean one didn't happen before the other. Point is, really - that no matter which POV you take, you're supported AND refuted by the rulebook. Tie does NOT go to the runner ... OR to the fielder.

Yeah I understand about reaction time- hence my note about being a few feet closer to the batter. I also heard one of the heads say several times that leaping is a disadvantage but I also know that there are several schools of pitching styles that firmly believe you gain speed by leaping. Regardless of your belief, the pitchers leap because they think it does gain them an advantage. If it didn't they wouldn't do it. I kept waiting yesterday to hear someone to make that very point. I'm still waiting.

These THs are really all over the place on the issue, but then again, they really have no idea of what they are talking about.
