Was wondering how long it would take into the season before someone resurrected this old thread lol.
I watched Game 2 where Cheri discussed KB and Game 1 and her 6 IPs. I give the SEC network and Cheri some credit for no shying away from the issue like they did last year. There were several camera angles of the IPs and Cheri acknowledged that why she did not feel KB was crownhopinng (i.e. getting a second push) she clearly showed and described the illegal leap. She also went on to say that she feels the college women should pitch under the international rules, which i agree with. IMO, On the video of her no hit highlights she seemed to not leap as much as last season but i did not see the whole game.
The bottom line is that KB will pitch the way she has always pitched with inconsistent enforcement and this game will go until she graduates from college. The fact will remain that she spins the ball incredibly well and throws her riseball on three separate planes which is the primary reason she is the dominant pitcher that she is.
