UT v Ariz

[argodad]

"I'm not making excuses why we got beat tonight."

Well, yeah Mike, you are.

[ronald]

well from the article it appears that some umps in the pac 10 did not do there job during the regular season as the pitcher implies by her statement of never having been called for an ip. can not believe her as i find it hard to believe that ips were only called in the sec, big ten and acc.

so if any of you pac 10 guys know if she is fibbing. please let us know.

poor sport by that guy.

Well...the Arizona pitcher *may* be right. Then again maybe she just hasn't lost a strike or an out because of the IP.

She has 9 for the entire season but in conference games she was not charged with any (IPs are under the "BK" column because the NCAA can't be bothered to make a stats program for softball). Of course, as we know now that does not include the IPs in which the pitch was called a ball anyway. For example, there were at least 6 IPs in the game we're talking about but the box score only shows 3.

I believe it was repeatedly stated that Fowler was called for an IP six times during the season, yet Arizona's web site has nine "balks" listed in her seasonal stats.

Interesting enough the plate umpire was Mike Bartling, a Pac 10 umpire. I am sure there was discussion in the pre-game about the pitchers and any IP's called during the season.
Heck at that level of a tournament they may also have video to go over with the umpires to help in identifying the legal and illegal pitches of certain pitchers.

To the coaches:
Careful what you whine for!

[IRISHMAFIA]

Apparently, Candrea and Fowler haven't learned a thing. Two innings, Fowler has been called for three IPs so far against UW.

Remember, the coaches have raised a big fuss about the illegal pitches because the OTHER teams pitcher is the one that pitches illegally!

Please elaborate. This could turn into a really good thread.
