I know that I am beating a dead horse here but they need to either enforce the crow hop/leaping rule or get rid of it. I am so tired of watching pitchers (college pitchers in particular) break the rule and it not get called. Yesterday I was watching the WCWS game between Oklahoma and Washington and Gabbie Plain was coming way off the ground with every pitch. The commentators even talked about her struggle coming to the US from Australia and conforming to the rule - they showed a side view of her last pitch where her drag foot was way off the ground and mentioned how she had been called for 8 illegal pitches in one game this season.
I know that there are lots of opinions on whether the rule is a good one or not - I really don't care either way. But if it is a rule THEN ENFORCE IT. Makes me nuts. Okay, rant over.
