Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Ok, then show me the rule. You haven't yet. You're expertise lead you to the same wahoo site you criticized me for using, not the NCAA rulebook. Here's copy/paste from NCAA rulebook, page 29, definitions: Illegally Batted Ball SECTION 44. A ball hit, fair or foul, by the batter when either one or bo...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

i would have to look at rule. i think your interpretation is wrong but i also think umpires are reluctant to call having been a d1 soccer ref myself. Think all you want, you are wrong. Sorry.

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Perfect example, the left handed batter #1, Oyama. Stands with his back foot on the front line, and when he lifts his right leg to start his swing, his calf and foot swing out OVER the corner of the plate. Yet if he gets hit, they're not going to call him out. Next example, left handed batter #16, ...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

I went back to the 5th inning since that was about when you posted. Oyama in the 5th: Bunt attempts, back foot remains in the box on both pitches, yes, the front of his foot crosses the line, the back of his foot is in the box, thus he's in the box by rule. Watched the whole at bat, nothing was wron...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Next batter. Right handed batter #34, Garcia. Doesn't stand on the line. Has his back foot in the front corner of the box. Again, when he starts his swing, like #1, he swings it out over the plate. Any inside pitch he's going to put his foot down and get hit, yet his foot will be out of the batters...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Did you look at how they're standing in the batter's box? Their back foot is ON the front line, in many cases OVER the front line, which isn't allowed. That's not "crowding the plate", that's purposely looking to get hit. You're right Robert, you must know the rules better than the umpire...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Which is why, when a team is doing like UCI does, you need to drill them with a few high hard ones and they won't stand so close any more. Intentionally hitting anyone is bush league. Throwing inside to send a message is one thing, but drilling someone is bush, and should result in an ejection. Pur...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

It’s become an art form. Some schools have mastered it as it improves your OBP. See the link I provided on LSU. We should take notes. The game has changed we need to change with it. Teams that do this we need to pitch differently to combat it. Either way, if you don't throw the ball in the batter's...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Leaning into a pitch entails moving toward the plate on a pitch coming inside. It's a totally unnatural act and is so obvious, it's an easy call for the ump. I didn't see all the HBP's yesterday, only catching a couple of innings between family stuff. But I haven't seen anyone "lean into"...

Now 8. Guy just stands there and inside pitch hits him. Zero attempt to get out of the way. I would do the same thing if umpires are not going to call it. More disappointed that Uhlman is not in the clubhouse. I would have been ejected last night and today. Time for me to hit the showers. Seen enou...

It’s a real shame we lost that game. 1 bad inning where our pitcher lost all control cost us. We finally got a couple timely hits and I am happy coach made those defensive changes. Happy to see Lynn back out there. When Banks finds his groove it will be fun to see what we can do. The pitcher that c...

I don't wish ill on Fritz. I don't understand why others cannot turn the page? He did more for Tulane football in my lifetime than anyone else. Do I think he's the greatest coach in the world?

Re: CFP Goes for 5+7 System

What still blows my mind is why ANY G5 conference rep would vote in favor of the 5+7, knowing it reduces the chances for their own schools? You know their goal is to eventually eliminate all G5s from the playoff. So why keep giving in so easily? STAND YOUR GROUND. The 5+7 is reconfirming the G5 pro...

It was a nice win last night for the Wave. Well played, both teams had a runner thrown out at the plate early that should not have been sent home. The CF for Nichols I thought was the player of the game. He saved a bunch of runs with catches few players make. Our pitchers were gutty. I'm a bit conce...

Re: Nicholls St. Game Thread

Our hitters need to step out between pitches and occasionally ask for time before he gets into his windup/delivery. Upset this pitcher’s rhythm. He’s in a groove and his timing is part of it.
