Stoney Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Looks dirty to me. Some are saying smart because of some rule of batter interference being out of the box. Apparently catcher did this twice. Once hitting the batter. Second time missing her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AledoAlumni Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Dirty. The batter was stepping out of the box, the catcher threw the ball at an angle that the 3rd baseman wouldnt have been able to catch it, and 2nd base wasnt even running. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRockNewbzz Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Looks dirty to me. Like @AledoAlumnisaid, the batter was backing up so if the throw doesn't hit her, it's down the LF line and runner on 2nd scores immediately [Bluff steal, so there wasn't a play going to be at 3rd]. Please don't just let this go UIL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaphClown Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Completely dirty and on purpose. There is zero reaction of the catcher. If this was an accident she would have had that "oh crap" moment, where shoulders shrug and core tightens. Other factors: no one is covering 3rd, no one is attempting to steal 3rd. Bad, bad, bad.

DogEatDog Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Dirty definitely. There was another video of her hitting another girl earlier in the game as well. Should have been handled at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blesseddaily Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 At first I was trying to give the catcher the benefit of the doubt because the runner at second did a hard lead off like she was going to third and the catcher had to get a snap throw off BUT the angles are all wrong. No way she was even throwing toward third base. The crazy thing is that it is really a dumb play. If the batter ducks the ball goes to left field and a run scores. The second part of this discussion should be about the umpire. The same thing happened earlier in the game so the ump had to be looking for it but no action taken??? Really? The second time it happened it should have brought ejections for the catcher and coach. Only way to stop nonsense like this from happening.

gamewatcher63 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Two other schools say that it also happened when they played against McCamey... Texas high school softball catcher under investigation after appearing to intentionally throw at batter's head | Fox News "Two other schools may have been subjected to similar experiences when they played against McCamey, according to a report from KAMR4." ....saw some really bad coaching/parenting during the years when my girls played league/travel/HS SB...

This is no different from a football coach teaching his blockers to hold or cut block on every play because it’s only going to be called 6-8 times per game at the most. It’s totally violating the spirit of the rule. You’re correct. The second time she did it, catcher and coach should have been ejected. Teach your kids to pitch, hit, play defense and run bases better than the kids they compete against. If you can’t win doing that, find another career. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefRedCloud Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I'm all for using a rule or situation to your benefit, but never causing harm or injury to an opponent. Need to find some other job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkyJohnson Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Completely dirty and unnecessary. Coach and athletic department had better be ready to answer for this. I hope that the UIL steps in and does something. Deliberately hurting or attempting to cause harm to another CHILD and hiding behind a rule that is based on "interpretation" is BS.

Cutting is a legal block insinde the tackle box. BUT, I see your point and it is valid. I thought the situation was uncalled for and disgusting.

IDK about your football comment but yes this is terrible and the coach and catcher should of been ejected. At minimum the catcher and suspended if she was not a senior for multiple games next season since they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs3505 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 It is bad. It also opens up for dirty responses. I know if its me I'm in the back of the batters box with a big backswing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyClydePuckett Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 If there had been a runner on third I would give her the benefit of the doubt. There was not. That purely and completely intentional. Should have been booted from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blesseddaily Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 So, the AD is the head softball coach AND the catcher's father??? Oh my..that is not good!! In fact that could be very bad for the AD/Softball coach!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
