Man there was a dangerous "spikes-up" slide into second!

Reminds me of when i lost the feeling permanently in a portion of my leg post a spiking incident.

Oh the other interseting aspect was the Mizzou coach switching to first base coaching to read the pitch on the grip and yell to the batter before it's delivered.

(First time i've seen blatant pitch-stealing like that - or just the first time the producers showed it)

I missed it, but the Mizzou coach played FP and knows the game better than most. The female game has lots to learn. With Coach Earlywhine and Chelsea Thomas, I look for Mizzlou to win the WCWS this year. Thomas will do better with multiple games than the rest. I see Tenn and the Renfroe sisters there in the finals.

Anyone heard of the status of the Mizzou player who went down at 3rd, Kinglsey? Looked like every ligament in that knee is now in two. Tough to see such a big injury.

That is ridiculous. Think of being the batter and getting set for the pitch then all of a sudden you hear someone scream "curve" or "rise". If anything, this has to be distracting. The only voice that should be in the batter's head is her own.

And on top of that, it is only a guess on the coach's part as unless the coach's vision is good enough to calibrate the Hubble telescope, there is nothing to be seen that is going to dictate what pitch is coming.

And if the coach wants to play mind games, show'em the damn grip. Then strike out the batter. :)

No way Mizzou wins the WCWS with one pitcher and no way they will beat Oklahoma even if they had 12 pitchers.

18 walks in that game yesterday, that was ridiculous.
