It seems like the umpires either ignored or didn't know the "would've been out either way" part of the rule because it was buried in the footnote.

I'm assuming the discussion/clarification was just an emphasis on the common sense part of the rule: if the runner is out by 5 feet, the runner is fucking out, there is no obstruction 

It does appear to be a better clarification of “it’s the runner was out regardless of there being obstruction or not, she’s out” instead of a buried footnote about umpire interpretation

I predict the “one foot out of the box” reviews will be the new “runner leaving early” reviews that will slow down the game. Every slap hitter is going to have their hits reviewed

was it video reviewed by a remote location?  I can't remember how the video review works.  the call on the field was no obstruction.  the whole "leading edge of the base" thing is stupid.

they use that to try to make something definitive but then they stick in massive grey area anyway.

NCAA softball had a national review center in Pittsburgh for the postseason

The defensive player is not considered obstructing if the player is in possession of the ball

Is this new language?  Seems like this would have applied as well as the clearly out language. unless blocking the leading edge can be called when a runner is only halfway to the base, and they decided that the half second she stepped in the base path before catching the ball constitutd obstruction.

I don't believe that is new language. and you are correct. they decided that the half second she stepped in about 20% of the base path/leading edge, 5 feet from the base, to field the throw, without the ball, constituted obstruction.

Spearman officially to Tech. Glad she visited but west Texas kids grow up in the shadow of Tech. More of a surprise she got away from Snider

25 is the number for the new roster

Assuming nobody entered, and we haven’t heard about any scholarship players entering, our roster is:

SR: Bennett, Maloney (RS), Gutierrez, Goode, Atwood (5)

JR: Martinez (RS), Henry, Kavan, Stewart, Hunter, Ad. Wallace (6)

SO: Brister, Salmon (2) 

FR: An. Wallace, Wells, Lawson, Crabtree, Nichols, Sneed, Wilson (7)

If we did indeed get Altmeyer, she puts us at 21 scholarships.

Curious if that is Altmeyer's official announcement or someone else.

Not a lot of big names left in the portal.
