Talking Heads

Well, Michelle Smith just slaughtered the DP/Flex rule. Stated DP & Flex can swap in and out the entire game without leaving the game.

I'm sure glad she was a better player than she is an announcer. Dave

Don't know what the guy's claim to fame is, but he does have a foul tip going into the catcher's glove............about half the time. Then it is "foul tipped into the dirt!"

I had a long work day and was dozing on and off during the game.
I did get to hear the correct statement "foul tip into the catcher's glove".

Had another beer and dozed off again.

Did anyone else notice Jenny Finch step back off the plate at the start of her pitch when they showed her in slow mo? Pretty obvious in regular mo as well. Is this legal in ISF are do they not care?

Off topic, but: I had the honor of wearing Michelle Smith's olympic gold medal around my neck for about five minutes one day.

Michelle Smith continues.

Just stated that Miller would have had to change pitchers for a second D conference in the inning, but that wasn't necessary since he went to the umpire first.

ISF has the same 3 in 7 innings as ASA

Thanks

They use NCAA rules, with some modifications.

Whichever one that was on when I posted it. Want to say the game with Japan, but I'm not sure.
