NCAA Super Regional Game 1: #13 Louisiana vs. #4 Auburn

i think technically it was an illegal pitch. not from the rubber and did not drag her trailing foot...

It was not an illegal pitch(es). It was two extra warm-up pitches resulting in two balls added to an existing 2-0 count to Carasone.

I'd take a picture of it but given how some reacted after the baseball meltdown, don't want to put someone in the crosshairs. Yeah, my wife and I laughed when we saw the flag and realized it was down. It is what it is.

Haha. I actually love that.

[GoneGolfin]

This is my beef. The rule is the rule. I get that. But you call ball three, and the entire park goes, "Wait, what?" and Mike comes out, talks to the ump, and goes... whoa. Don't pitch any more warmups. And Christina pitches to the batter.

That never happened. Ball two. Warmups. Ball four. WHAT HAPPENED?

That's not right.

In any case, Auburn doesn't have anyone that can stop this team from scoring 11 twice tomorrow. They're the 101st best ERA in America - before the 11 runs today.

The Cajuns will win two tomorrow. No doubt whatsoever.

My guess is Alex Stewart pitches game 1. Their best hitter certainly struggled with her changeup.

It doesn't matter who pitches. We're going to mash.

And again … why was there a delay? The batter was not ready to go.

Well hell brain. Did they call a timeout. Im still wondering if a pitcher throws underhand into the outfield bleachers if it a pitch.

[Flcajun]

I see the delay issue what i want to know is who is counting the pitches and how do we know

Well hell brain. Did they call a timeout. Im still wondering if a picture thows underhand into the outfield bleachers if it a pitch.

Depends. Is the SEC school hitting or pitching?

[Flcajun]

Did u see the score page christina had 3 atbats 2 hits and 3 walks. Impossible The only issue i have is was she told. If she wasnt told its the umps fault.

In the overall scheme of things, these two pitches was just a microcosm of our problems today. You never put yourself in a position where an ump/ref/official can make one call to determine a game. We (not they) blew it. Pure and simple.

I think since Jordan started the at-bat, the walk is charged to Jordan.

Like if a pitcher leaves with baserunners on, she's responsible for those baserunners. I think it's the same.

That's certainly a fair point. But we're about to mash tomorrow. Auburn has no one in the dugout that can stop these hitters, and I'm willing to bet that strike zone won't be as tiny as today, either.

I'm confident.
