The Kaylee Carlson thread

[Westwind]

Well since Barnhill has an entire thread (95 pages at press time) discussing every aspect of her illegal pitching, how about a thread in honor of Kaylee Carlson?

Stride foot is completely out of the pitching lane every pitch.

Hard to watch. 1. Carlson Pitching 2. Then to top if off Cheri (I'm a sellout because no pitcher pitches illegal) Kempf doing the game. Headphones are in.

She rides the line for the first two innings, but after the line is removed she has no Boundaries. She Keeps getting further and further outside the 2' boundary. She is so far outside the boundaries it is embarrassing. So the Umpires have a REAL reason for not calling it, "I can't tell without the lines there", is true. No Line No rule. So they CYA. Same with the slap hitters, they wait until the line is gone and they have no boundaries. .

But it is a home game so the Umpires will not call anything against the home team. Same is true with Barnhill at home.

Before Kentucky's pitcher pitched her first pitch they had to do field repair. If they can take time to do that than why can't they re-chalk the lines between certain innings. Or when the lines are gone.

They just called the batter out for having part of the foot outside the batters box line while making contact with the ball. There is no line. Then they should be able to see Carlson outside the 2' boundary.

Exactly! Pitching lane was virtually unused until Humes stride foot hit it.

I'm confused, was Hume's foot in the lane or out? Slappers are out if a tippy toe is out of the box during contact (which I totally agree with). But is the pitch illegal is any part of the foot is out of the lane?? I'm asking cause I genuinely don't know.

Sorry, I was being snarky.

I wish I was a video wizard, there was footage of what happened and that would be better than me trying to explain it. I'll give it a shot though.

Hume was the Kentucky pitcher and when she came in to pitch in bottom of first inning her stride foot almost went out from under her. It didn't look like Carlson had landed in the pitching lane in the entire top of the first- and something was way wrong with the surface IN the pitching lane where you would expect the pitchers foot to land. When they came back from commercials the Kentucky coaches, umpires and the Auburn grounds crew were circled around the pitching lane and there was video of Hume slipping badly. It was almost like the clay was sitting on top of a hard surface, when her stride foot cleat hit the ground, a big chunk moved with her foot. Which is what would have happened to Carlson but thankfully for Auburn her stride foot was landing outside the pitching lane.

Just looking at the roster, that's the name it gives for #7. That game is on youtube.
