    Road to the 2023 NCAA Championship

    I can see now why Tennessee didn't pitch their 2 main pitchers against OU.....

    Road to the 2023 NCAA Championship

    That's the same Tennessee coach that pitched to Lauren Chamberlain in game one of the 2013 finals in the bottom of the 12th with a runner on second (i.e. open base, winning run already on 2nd). Result - walk off 2 run HR.

    That was OU's worst-played game of the year.

    Road to the 2023 NCAA Championship

    Oklahoma currently boasts a streak of ten consecutive years with at least one national championship (not including the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season), including four in 2017 and three in 2016. OU's three 2016 NCAA titles were claimed in a span of 53 days: men's and women's gymnastics on April...

    I am aware. It still isn't right.

    Road to the 2023 NCAA Championship

    And how did Baylor not get seeded? They are the only one to beat OU and beat Tenn twice! SEC bias is ridiculous. Remember last year.....only 3 Big 12 teams in 64, 3 in 16, 3 in last 4, 2 in last 2...Big 12 was and is best conference, not SEC.

    College DP / Flex Rule

    Not sure how this applies? Bahl was playing defense (she was pitching) and pinch hit for someone other than the DP.

    College DP / Flex Rule

    So..... watching Oklahoma Sooners softball (Boomer Sooner!). Bahl starts the game pitching (flex). In 2 games in the past week (including tonight against Tulsa), Bahl has pinch-hit for someone in the lineup other than the DP. How is this ok? As far as I can tell, the DP / Flex is supposed to...

    Running over the catcher

    Catcher had the ball when runner was ~2/3 to home; she was essentially standing there waiting. The runner noticed that, paused for a split second, then made the decision to continue toward home plate with the collision the result.

    Running over the catcher

    I couldn't find the video, but here is a post that has pictures of the play in question. Pretty class-less (IMO) commentary by player's family... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02tJREiT21pHV37ij3noLitLGDcUE9sAov8Tcyq4SKkfKLa6eZ2qHK9Ne73YVy2UCNl&id=100000164229888

    Running over the catcher

    R1 on third base, pitcher throws a wild pitch and R1 starts running home. When R1 is about half way home, ball bounces off backstop and right to catcher. So catcher is holding the ball with R1 still ~10 feet from home. Instead of retreating or trying to get in a run down (though she paused...

    Delaying play to run clock time off

    We had a blatant stall. We were down 4-3 going into last inning. We were batting in top of inning and started putting up runs; we were up 9-4. In a drop dead format (not finish the inning), the other team knew if the clock expired without them finishing their at bat in the bottom of the...

    Offensive interference

    Sadly, it is 16U.....that is why I put "baseline" in quotes :)

    Offensive interference

    It was a pretty "bang-bang" play. Fielder was in direct line ("baseline") between first and second base. fielder was set up to catch the ball and stationary; my take is that the impending collision with the runner affected her attempt at catching the pop up. She had plenty of time to pick up...

    USSSA illegal player

    USSSA rules seem pretty clear, that a player must be rostered 3 days before the event. What is the penalty if a player not listed on the on-line roster is used in a game?

    Offensive interference

    I think this one is pretty obvious, but..... 2 outs, runners on first and second. Batter pops up to second baseman, second baseman misses ball; after ball hits ground, runner from first collides with second baseman. Umpire calls dead ball, offensive interference, runner out, end of inning...

    Incorrect courtesy runner

    I am in general agreement with your take on courtesy runners. In this case, it was quite hot out, and there was a benefit to letting the pitcher sit in the shaded dugout (plus, she is a slow runner....). We never courtesy run for our catcher, because she is probably the fastest on the team...

    Incorrect courtesy runner

    USSSA sanction. We batted nine, with 3 subs. sub 1 (S1) came in to pitch; in next half inning, got a base hit, used S2 for courtesy runner. Next inning, S3 comes in game for S1 (RF came in to pitch, S3 to RF). Now, in next half inning, new pitcher gets hit, and coach asks plate umpire about...
