Baylor vs Georgia

[UmpireErnie]

This is 2nd time he has called her for making contact with foot out of the box. I am going to defer to PU as he was 3 feet away and we are looking at camera view from center field. What I did notice was the entire foot was planted, whereas on the previous pitch when the crowd was yelling for the call only the batters toe was on the ground with the heel still in the air and (IMO from TV view) over but not touching the line of the batter's box. A good no call.

Well, by rule, the batter should be called out, but like you, I'll defer to the PU on site and agree, if the foot is "over" the white line, I understand why an umpire would give the batter the benefit of any doubt. Not a call you guess on.

I watched these games on DVR delay Sunday and Monday. I couldn't wait to get here and see if y'all had seen the same things I noticed.

The talking heads had moments where they did seem to know what they were talking about. More than usual in fact. But, yeah, the comment about the ball hitting in foul territory first did concern me. And it did take them forever to figure out that the slapper was stepping in front of (if not on) the plate.

The PU for Georgia/Baylor looked very familiar. I think I've seen her doing ASA in SC.

Oh. Very similar face, hair style and strike signal. The older I get, the more people I think look like someone else.
