  1. I really want to find a gif of Buttermaker telling Leak to hit the pitch when the Yankess were intentional walking him but can't seem to find it. "you are putting the winning run on first base, you imbecile!"
  2. It's softball, I thought anyone could wear any colors they want?(Insert Oregon joke here)
  3. hope you are right but Canady is a machine. she screwed up something they obviously never practiced. my guess is she'll be ready to go and it won't phase her. doesn't mean we won't win 2-0 or something like that.
  4. the are saying that umpire interference means it is a dead ball but IMO the batter interfered before the umpire interference. Logically the rule is BS because Tech should not benefit because the umpire screwed up. they are treating it the same as if a batted ball hits ump where the batter is awarded first and ball is dead. the issue is that in almost every case a batted ball hitting and ump is a base hit anyway.
  5. other than the over the top "Nijaree Stomp" thing she seems like a good egg. but she chose to play for tech so there you go.
  6. yeah, they would stand behind the plate an hold their arm out to give the pitcher a target that they would then step to.
  7. so now we have to start a "softball trivia" thread?
  8. this is the issue but in a different respect. in one of the posts upthread about the rule it says something about it not being obstruction for impeding the runner if in judgement of the umpire the fielder is just making a play or somesuch. they aren't using the judgement. they are just letting replay review obstruction and replay just says "where is her foot in relation to the base before she catches the ball?". replay should ask the umpire if in their judgement in game action did the fielder impede the runner from getting to the base. if the ump says yes then they should have called obstruction at the time of the play.
  9. both I think. they had clearly not practiced that at all. In baseball the catcher would cheat and move before the pitcher released the ball but nobody complained because everyone does it.
  10. good catch. the only thing they could say is that because Kavan caught the ball it was a throw back to the pitcher. Atwood was obviously trying to "make a play on the base runner". that whole play should have ended the game and the reason is logically Tech who is causing interference should not benefit because the umpire hindered Atwood.
  11. so here is the weird thing. what happens if reese throws her out. the ump interference kills the play? the batter was on the plate even before the ump interference happened as well. the ump interference was hurting Texas not Tech, as was the batter interference. why should tech benefit from that?
  12. I still can't believe they didn't call batter interference on the throw. She walks across the plate during the steal. regardless what happens with the ump you can't have the batter walking across the plate on a steal.
  13. I don't think the catcher really knew what to do. on the first pitch she held her arm out but she can't just stand 2 feet outside the catcher has to start in the catchers area and then move outside. I bet the catcher was worried about not getting outside fast enough. Canady was firing high fastballs. what needed to happen was for Canady to throw change ups 2 feet outside and high so the catcher can get there.
  14. if Tech loses this series I bet you anything the intentional walk rule is changed.
  15. Is Beth Mowins still alive? she has to be so depressed. first Patty Gasso loses and then Nijareeeeeeeeeeee Canadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loses. It has to be like a death in the family for her.
  16. how is it not obstruction on the batter?
  17. there are always weird fucking rules in the girls version of a sport. there doesn't need to be but they do it for some reason...
  18. they are trying to make it so confusing so that tech can win or at least tie the game
  19. lets go TK. do this!
  20. good point. I still wouldn't trust these umps to initiate a review for us.
  21. why waste a challenge on that? you may need it.
  22. fuck all you motherfucking umpires and bullshit motherfuckers.!!!!!!
  23. come on Atwood. end this.
  24. yeah we know she was safe and the other runner for Tech was out, bitch.
