The runners ran into the catcher. I saw the catcher just stand there and lift her arm to protect herself because the runners were running at full speed right towards her. What was she supposed to do?

Highly doubt it. She is getting slammed on twitter. The anonymous masses are on her and if the threat of her losing her scholly are there, I am sure she is kicking herself and will learn from it regardless.

ETA: It's a shitty play. Should have been called. Doesn't make her a shitty person though.

She's not elbowing anyone from what I saw, but she sure was bracing for the blow to deflect the runner. It was definitely in poor form and she should have been ejected from the game.

But it is definitely true that the second girl knew what was up, but when she walked up to her, realized she wanted no part of that action . I guess it's not the same for girls and rubber cleats, but you slide spikes up next time you send someone home and they'll get the message. I don't care if she has leg guards on, put the cleats in her hips if you have to.

Boy the internet has no limits when it comes to being butthurt. Why would anyone on this forum call or email the coach of that team, other than just to be an arse?

is probably books, or maybe books and tuition, pretty standard fare for filling up Title IX slots, and there's no shortage of other schools desperate to fill them

this is the same board that got butthurt because some high school soccer player shot the bird at the student section after he scored a goal in the State Playoffs.

they handled it well. Good for the catcher for getting away with it today. She won't next time. She put a target on her back now.

I hope someone gifs that.

Get out of the baseline. If you don't have the ball, impeding a runner is obstruction.

Should have been called by the ump with a second infraction resulting in ejection.

Normally I hate the notion of "pussification," but it's awful how there was no retaliation.

Being just a few years removed from youth sports, it's driven into your head that retaliation is wrong no matter what, and that's bull shite imo.

Eta: at least where I grew up, which isn't liberal whatsoever.

Exactly, she was blocking the plate without the ball on both plays.
