I have a feeling Neal has practiced this exact situation, knew where to put his knee and his foot , to not touch home, to not be forward the plate . And that's exactly what happened.

The camera angle they showed on Sports Center right after the softball game shows that Neal clearly stepped in front of the plate before he caught the ball.

You are getting downvoted, but you are right. What Neal did is fine ONLY b/c the batter didn't swing.

I do see what they’re saying. And I agree it does not violate the rule.
My point is at the highest echelon of D1 baseball we should expect better.
Look, i like the kid. I don’t like how he has regressed since the first half of his freshman season.
He’s extremely lucky he’s not in the hospital right now.
Whoever is coaching, this kid is screwing him up big-time.

He stepped on the side of it. In front would imply fair territory. Neal never touched the plate and his toes might have been past the front line of the plate, but he never stepped in front of the plate.

I've noticed that about him. There's a few who will take any situation, win or loss, to troll. 00 Tech Grad, Tiger Prophet are some others that immediately come to mind.

Blame the rule, blame the umps, blame the replay review rules…. Lots of blame that will be discussed… In more important circles than here because we all watched that nonsense. A bright light was shine on it.
But blaming the catcher and the defense there is silly…… for ANYONE that has common sense.

The batter COULD NOT swing because he left the batters box. Why is this simple fact so hard for many of you to get straight.

Neil should’ve been clocked in the back of the head with 100 mile an hour swing.
Batter left the box. Would have been hard to hit the catcher as he was running away from the plate.
quote:
he stays crouched even with a stupid arse one kneel down stuff, he catches the ball puts the glove on the plate and runner is out.
This is false. Neal had to take 2 steps to be In line with the plate. Simply dropping his glove would not have done anything.
quote:
You gain absolutely zero by moving onto the plate like he did. Whether he actually touched it or went in front of it or not.
This is also false. Neal played it perfectly. He caught the ball in a perfect defensive stance to tag the runner coming home. His right foot was on the side of the plate, and his left foot was behind. It was literally textbook defensive play from the catchers position.
The umps fricked up, plain and simple. Not only did they get the balk call wrong but they awarded SC a run even though the runner never touched the plate.

But he didn’t…he stepped completely out the box before the pitch was delivered
That's not accurate. The batter has both feet in the box when Herring released the ball. See the frame below. In the second pic, the ball is cleary on it's way (near Herring's foot from this angle) and the batter still has a foot in the box.
Ump still fricked the call, but the batter was in the box when it was thrown.

You think that’s relevant and you’re running me down about rule technicalities lol

I think the problem here is we have a bunch of perfect game experts who think the 16-year-old pop times of 1.7 are awesome when they release the ball 8 inches in front of the plate.

And what about the batter leaving the box before the pitch was thrown?
What's the rule on that? Someone quoted a rule stating it's a strike penalty. Also with runners on it is possibly a 2 strike penalty?

I didn’t call it interference, I only said that Neal didn’t “play it perfectly” as another poster said he did.

That’s correct but the batter stepped out before that which is an automatic strike. The umps ignored that altogether.
Bingo. Just like when the time ran out on the SC pitcher, Travinski went to first. That was the third strike, inning over!
