Unpucker your cheap ass and get a sitter. Sissies who were afraid of the ball generally don't enjoy the game.

That is incorrect, as long as her foot is in the air, its considered to be in the box, but if her front foot hits the ground as contact is being made, she is out of the box and its an illegal hit and she should be called out.

Dodger Stadium (Chavez Ravine) famous throughout it's existence for crowd still arriving in the 3rd and starting to leave in the 6th.
Dodger fans weren’t like that the other night. It was like they were glued to their seats.
Maybe you should send him the link with the rule. As long as her foot is in air she is fine, but if her front foot hits the ground, and then hits the ball, she is out. According to the rule.
I don’t feel like being douchey when my daughter is a pitcher and then every little thing she does gets picked apart. There are less and less slap hitters so for that one every third game you might see, it would do more damage than good.
Its easier to see what the pitcher is doing, then it is with a slap hitter. The homeplate ump is watching whether the pitch is a ball or strike, and its hard for him to do that and also watch the feet of the slap hitter. It works better to have the base ump. watch if the hitter is coming down with her front foot as contact is being made.
But then people will complain that its not their call to be making, but the home plate umps.
Moving the pitcher back has changed the game for the better, gives the hitter a better chance, and more offense in the game.
Busch stadium is pumping in crowd noise when a good play happens. It weird but hey I get to watch the Redbirds.
I don't mind the noise. Fox is putting virtual fans in the stands on certain plays. That I could do without
Baseball is strictly radio sport for me until playoffs. Let's me multitask. Feels good to have it back.
I've always thought women's soccer and softball have more upside than WNBA for spectator success. I really enjoy women's world cup games.
WNBA has just out-organized those sports. Also NCAA basketball gives them rookies who are already known names.
Baseball in general just needs to be played faster and more aggressively if it wants to grow as a TV sport in the future. There are certain players I love because of their aggressive risk taking style.
Baseball doesn't need to be doing all these pumped in noise, CGI fans, etc. They should be letting me here mic'd up players throughout the game, would be way better.
