There may have been some confusion with the parties involved. In baseball, the batter can leave the bat in the zone without "attempting" to contact the ball. I believe in softball this year, a rule change requires the batter to withdraw the bat from the zone. In other words, in softball, leaving the bat in the zone without attempting to make contact is now a strike.

 

Don't know if this rules difference had any bearing on how this but just offering some info.

 

 

That is interesting. I wonder why the difference? It is a judgement call as to whether the intent is for the batter to make an attempt at the ball, but most of the time it's pretty clear. The instinct is for the batter to withdraw the bat from the zone.

yall can say umpires are bad all you want to but untill you get back dont talk bad about them. when you get back there and the pitcher hits a spot right at the knees but the catcher drops his mitt to the ground. do you call it a strike or a ball? both teams will be mad no matter what you call.

 

catcher sets up out, pitcher misses in just off the plate. its a strike if he hits his spot there but not since the catcher moved his mitt 18". no matter what you call both teams are mad! one view is that he moved the mitt the other is the ump has call that all night. what do you do?

 

I can go on if yall want me to. but yes there are bad umpires. when all you have to do is pay $55 and pass an open book test its not going to get better.

I saw this last week. Pitch #1..Strike swinging(0-1)...#2 Strike swinging(0-2)...#3 ball outside(1-2) BUT WAIT...

umpire in field (standing in short RF) says "I called time out before the second pitch, count is 1-1" Not a single person in the park heard him call time,including his partner, the HP umpire. Absolutly pitiful.

When both sides of the field are constantly complaining, guess what... BLUE IS BAD. They missed a good game!

What happens sometimes is, the same old umps call most of the games. Most of us have seen them call and disapprove of them, because we know the way they call. Yet, we get the same ones! The assigners think you are getting the best when, really your getting their pick!! yes or no? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Are you sure about this sequence?

Somebody was "asleep at the wheel"; umpires, coaches, scorekeeper, players, fans.

 

Notice I put fans last.?

Yeah I'm sure..Umpires (lost)..Coaches (questioned)..Scorekeeper(couldn't hear from pressbox)..players (knew the umps were wrong)..Fans (many, including myself almost got TOSSED!) The whole game was on the verge of a riot.

I guess the reason I asked is because if the ump says he called time "before the second pitch" - on the third pitch; then officially only 1 pitch had been thrown.

 

How could the count be 1-1 with only one pitch being thrown? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
