Illegal Pitch
PU called Tennessee catcher for stepping out of the CB prior to the pitcher delivering the ball.
It was a pitch-out for an intentional walk to set up a force out, but the IP allowed the walk, but also moved the runner to 3B taking away the force at any base. I want to see a replay because I don't think she was completely outside the box. |
I saw the replays they showed on TV and it looked like her foot was on the outside edge of the line.

I would not bet my life that no portion of her foot was on the line at the time of the pitch. No chance in hell that I am calling that.

Not a great look on replay angle. Whats up with the communication device HP was using under the back stop mats? Was it to notify the press box? |

That is funny.

Yep,
I assumed foot had to be outside the line. |
Personally, IMO, the umpire was picking a nit.

Speaking ASA (& PONY if anybody's out there), Catcher may set up anywhere as long as they are in the catcher's box, but are they allowed to be standing straight up, ala MLB?

Is there some reason you think she wouldn't? |
No.
Just had a partner (PONY tournament) insist that she be in the "catching position", in a crouch, prior to the pitch. Jes' makin' sure I wasn't misreading a simple rule;) |

Just me, but I would 1) tell that partner he is a f*cking indiot, and 2) look in every available rule book to assure myself I didn't miss something, before I asked something like that on a national board, making me look like him. |

2. I'm not that guy. 3. Posited that question for his benefit, didn't realize I was leaving myself open to the well-deserved abuse. Completely my fault. |
