OK. I give up.
Watching and enjoying for the most part, the Women's College World Series. Yes, I find it extremely annoying with all the "cheering" and stuff. Could those players please leave that behind at the high school level? OK, let them cheer. I'll turn off the sound on my TV set. However, will someone explain why they are allowed to come out of the dugouts en mass to greet everyone who is coming home to score? Maybe allow it with a home run out of the park? Even then I suspect the plate umpire must be at least mildly annoyed by it. Forces them to actually look through the crowd at the plate to make sure the hitter has touched the plate. I'd think at this level of play that there would be a little more professionalism. Reaction?
PS--I worked D-2, D-3, and JUCO ball back in the day and do not remember those games being that way.

The only way this ever changes is if an umpire simply tells a coach they will NOT rule on a missed base appeal because they could not see.

But it is about us when a coach appeals a missed base and we cannot rule on it because we couldn't see it. Betcha money the defensive coach doesn't lay into the offensive coach and players because THEY were obscuring the plate umpires view. Dave
