I'm not normally a conspiracy type, but it was completely obvious. I almost started a thread about it earlier myself. Plus, just listening to them, you could tell they were west coasters. How you could not look at the replay and not see that the catcher was completely blocking the plate well prior to the ball arriving, or at least acknowledge the possibility, is ridiculous.

I guarantee that home plate call/replay will be replayed throughout tomorrow and maybe perhaps the weekend! The commentators will continually say how UCLA got screwed!

ESPN is pushing an agenda to who ever will listen...the PAC12 hasnt won a NC in years, there over the SEC dominating softball.

Isn't the rule the catchers knees cannot touch the ground?

I thought I read that somewhere. Softball got some weird arse rules.

Couldn't care less what biased pieces of garbage of ESPN have to say about LSU. We won, which is all I care about. They play Florida next, and I can't wait for them to show the world that they will beat them. Looking forward to seeing them play tomorrow.

Yeah, I think it was posted in the game thread. It's obstruction if the catcher's knee touches the ground, which the UCLA catcher definitely did.

The catcher was on her knees and spread out literally completely in front of the plate in the base path before the ball was even caught.

I use to laugh at people who claimed a PAC-12 bias in softball.


The SEC has been better than the PAC-12 for 3-4 years now.

That is certainly not any rule. And truth be told, it was a bad call now that we have the advantage of replay to make it. At game speed, I don't have much issue with it. With replay, horrible call.

I think he is talking about the West Coast bias with the media, not wins and losses.

NCAA Rule Change (last year) LINK

quote:

The committee made a small change in the wording of the obstruction rule, but expects to see fewer defenders blocking their bases sooner than they are entitled to. The specific wording replaces “about to receive a thrown ball” with “in the act of catching a thrown ball.” Players and umpires will no longer have to judge if the ball is closer to the base than the runner is, but instead whether the defender was positioning herself (not protected) or in the act of receiving the throw (protected). Although not new to the rule, in order for obstruction to be called, note that the runner must be impeded in some way such as by altering her course to the base or by being denied direct access to the base. Blocking access to the base with no noticeable effect on a runner remains a “no call.”


So basically, the catcher stood in a spot directly in the path of the runner from third to the plate. The catcher never moved her feet from where she was standing while waiting for the throw, caught the ball and dropped directly down in Quinn's path to the plate. It's interference, and that's why it was an automatic call for the umpire.

Based on what in see in the bracket ... With the way the bracket flips, 2 sec teams can meet in the finals. Loser of LSU fla drops to the bottom of bracket. So the bracket stack argument doesn't really work out.

Does the bracket drop happen like that in the men's World Series as well?

My cousin was a high school All-American softball player and played at Texas A&M. She would have played at LSU but this was before LSU had a team in the mid 90s. The biggest issue she and her parents always complained about in college softball was the female "gay" coaches. The reason she chose A&M was becauae they had a male coach, he was fired 2 years after she got there and they hired that manly looking female head coach they have now, so my cousin left A&M program.

Obviously ESPN hates all things LSU, they hate the football team, the coach, the basketball team, the baseball team, the softball team, I hear they hate the food and mascot as well.
