And the home plate ump didn't even appeal to the base ump. Not close to going around. Except for the home plate guy Saturday, a bad crew.

The base umpire was between 1st and 2nd. No way did he have a good look. The umpire blew that call. I was right behind home plate and Jordan didn't come close to breaking her wrist.

A swing is an attempt at a pitch, that is not a bunt. That includes what is referred to as a “checked swing” or “half swing.” It is up to the judgment of the umpire(s) if the batter attempted at a pitched ball. Contrary to popular belief, a batter does not have to “break his/her wrist” in order to attempt at a pitch.

I agree with you but generally, factors such as whether the bat passes the front of the plate or the batter pulls their wrists back are considered in the ruling. "Some" umpires prefer to use the "breaking the wrists" criterion as the method to decide a checked swing: if the wrists "rolled over", a swing occurred.

These umpires this weekend at home plate were bad except the Saturday guy. They lost track of outs, pitch counts, etc...I hope this crew doesn't work the conference tournament games. Everyone knows Jourdyn didn't come close to swinging regardless of the ruling/criteria.

I don’t think I said that she did swing

Lost in a 10 zip win was Campbell's throw to first for the last out in the top of the sixth. Seems the game rewarded her with the homer for the great play.

First time in three weeks Cajuns make up a little ground on first place, abet thanks to the weather.

No you didn't. I was just listing another bad call that these guys made.
