    Looking for some advice on HS ball because this dad is driving the struggle bus (Sorry another HS topic)

    Have DD talk to him one more time. Tell him she’s going to leave if she’s not going to play. Then walk if he doesn’t play her. But leave on good terms because he might be there next year. Summer season is only a few weeks away.

    What do other countries and pitchers from those countries have to do with the abilities of a pitcher from OU? While leaping is allowed internationally, the only way to find out how much of an advantage leaping is for Jordy Bahl, or not, is to compare her with herself - leaping vs non-leaping...

    There’s a difference between human error/bias and deliberate non-enforcement. Nevertheless, the electronic strike zone is coming. Pls see the previous post about traveling and holding. Phantom base touching is done as a courtesy, for safety. @pattar brought up a good point, about the 12...

    LOL!! How about the umpires enforce the rule, make her pitch legally for a few games, and then you’ll have your answer.

    Yeah I have no idea if Bahl leaps exactly 99% or exactly 98% of the time or whatever; I haven’t watched every video of her and kept score. The point is she leaps a lot (appears to be 100% based on what I have seen), no other pitcher consistently leaps like that, it’s illegal, and the umps...

    What basketball player travels 99% of the time and isn’t called for it? Who holds on 99% of the plays and isn’t called for it? Are these players celebrated for their achievements? Have their coaches ignored or encouraged them to repeatedly violate these rules, for years? ************* You’re...

    @jfitch12 Right, so it’s a child’s game - which makes non-enforcement even more of a head-scratcher. Plus, it’s just one rule, and staffing isn’t limited. 😂 And thank you, you support my point exactly - if a rule is repeatedly violated and not enforced, why does it exist? Also, the...

    I think we might have found our too-tall riseball pitcher Bill. @Hillhouse 😂😂😂

    Leaving aside the dubiousness that “a few inches don’t matter” and whatever “it doesn’t alter the reaction time” means, the key point to this entire discussion is - If a rule is repeatedly violated and violation does not result in enforcement or penalty, what is the point of its existence...

    Why don’t you start one? She’s not a pitcher I am familiar with. Would love to learn more.

    Jordyn Bahl

    Yes. Yes. Bahl is very athletic. An outlier. She also pitches illegally, nearly all the time.

    No. So the rules change based on how the game is going - ? And applying the rules is up to the coaches - ?

    Jordyn Bahl

    True, for the most part. Doesn't make consistent rules violations OK though.
  15. S

    Jordyn Bahl

    No. This thread is long because Jordy Bahl is pitching illegally, all the time. Not because people hate OU. Not because people hate Patti Gasso. Not because she's 14-0 or any other stat. And no one is being parochial about it. If you read through this thread, you will see strong arguments...

    Hit or error?

    With respect - Mental errors are not recorded because they require the scorer to impute what the fielder was thinking. The purpose of a rulebook is to take subjective and weird out of the equation. Nothing more subjective and weird than a scorer saying they know for certain what a fielder was...

    Team Rules~No player/parent interaction at the ballpark

    control vs cooperation - the age-old issue. ********************************** From warm-up to after-game chat, the players belong with the team. Anything beyond that is out of bounds, and is a symptom of low EQ coaching. I don't care how many all-stars, D1 players, Olympians, Oscar winners...
