Worst strike call on hit batter - Horrible - IFA Softball NC
Ok all you armchair umpires. Here is the rule: (First I want to say that I don't think any umpire can possible know every rule in every rulebook. Just not possible.
She needs to be a little tougher honestly. The umpire made the right call,
seeing I've played softball for many years we as players and you as parents
don't always like the call but that doesn't mean it's the wrong call.
Dude she's like 11 or 12 And it hit her most of the times it will hurt depending where it's at I mean I cried when I got hit in the knee She can't help if it hurts.
NC High School rules:
"ATTEMPTED BUNT (“OFFER”) is any movement of the bat toward the ball when
the ball is over or near the plate area. The mere holding of the bat in the
strike zone is not an attempt to bunt"
+xpressva I didn't mean this particular call was a strike. I can't tell if it was or wasn't from this angle. i'm just assuming it was in the strike zone because the ump called it a strike. i'm just merely pointing out the fact that had it been a strike even though the ball hit her, it's still a strike. and if it was it's a dead ball strike. I don't know how you didn't freak out on the HP ump... he didn't see it? he saw it. he had to watch he ball all the way until it hit her, how did he not see it? he didn't want to make the call.
+reaper creeper I did ask the home plate umpire and he said he did not see the play. And the ball was not close to the strike zone. The strike zone is the strike zone... she was not in the strike zone. Watch the catcher's mitt when she goes to catch the ball.
+xpressva it doesn't matter where the bat is or what she did with the bat. the ball was IN the strike zone no matter what. it's a dead ball strike. the home plate ump should have called it a strike before she hit the ground, called time and then let her coach tend to her. now what would have me pissed off is the douchebag field ump making the call over me if I was the home plate ump. my guess is the asshole in the field was the head ump. but still, he upstaged his partner. even if he knew the right call, it's not his job to call it. it's the home plate umpire's decision to make a call and his partner should have his back right or wrong. now there is your argument. YOU (or the coach actually) should have asked the home plate ump what the call was. the field ump could pull him aside between innings and told him what he thought, just not blurt it out like that. man i'd be fuming if that happened. yes, I am an umpire and yes I have called plenty of dead ball strikes just like this one. I understand a kid got hit, but the strike zone is the strike zone after all.

First what video were you watching? She was definitely moving the bat back.NC High School rules:"ATTEMPTED BUNT (“OFFER”) is any movement of the bat toward the ball when the ball is over or near the plate area. The mere holding of the bat in the strike zone is not an attempt to bunt"

WOW..I agree he is the umpire and should be in control..@ 36 seconds I get
a years suspension if not more, then I get lawyers and own the mouth, after
that the blubber goes away. Never threaten, just get rid of the cry babies
who are living the dream on a softball field...What a joke...this is a
disgrace, all parties involved should be embarrassed.
these are adults shouldn't they behave its not up to umpires to handle your
crying bs as this video happens after it happens and i have hard time
belling these playing are even telling the full truth
FlowBros playing at the 15th Umpires Tournament in Clovis, New Mexico. We finished at 2-2 with a 3rd place finish. Still looking for out 1st tournament win, but ...
So when it gets cold what do you guys end up swinging. I live in upstate NY
and my bag consist of pretty much demarini so i dont like to risk it either
wondering what i could pick up for chilly days. thanks. Btw love the
constant hustle
+tictac020 Yeah it wasn't a very big tournament, I think there were 10 or 11 teams. We went 2-0 to start off then got our 1st loss in the undefeated's game and then lost the next game after that.
+Erik Chavarria Yes the ASA insane is so sick looking. We will be playing open or C which ever we get in, but I we usually hang out around the tournaments so definitely feel free to come up and say what's up
Yea those are sick too.... I like the black and blue one a little more as well. I think the ASA color way is so nice, just to bad I do not play to much ASA here. Well if I see y'all, I will say whats up man. I think I am just playing co-ed. I don't think any of the mens team I play for are going up there to San Angelo. Hobbs I can always jump on a team there
+FlowBros Softball Yea I cracked mine and I am just now sending it in, I am going to miss if for the ASP San Angelo, Hobbs Super Slam, and probably Mansfield. So bummed.
