What happened to accountability? The pitcher is, by your own admission, breaking the rules. The umpire is enforcing the rules, yet HE dictated the outcome of the game? Not the player making the illegal pitches? This is fascinating. Why does the player get excused from any accountability?
If you get stopped for speeding and it makes you 15 minutes late, did the cop cause you to be late or did you cause yourself to be late?
The pitcher illegally pitched every one of her pitches. They all should have been called according to the rules. They were not. Other pitchers pitch illegally, some are called and some are not called. This pitcher was, and has, been called on it inconsistently, and in this game more so after a mostly off-camera exchange with a coach. Inconsistent calling of a rule (against the same pitcher, against different pitchers, in the same game, or across multiple games) is frustrating to watch.
I'm usually early and if I'm ever late it's my own fault...but I speed regardless.
