re: The SEC umps did not mess up. The LSU catcher charged home plate without the ball.

Everyone who is saying it is automatically a strike if the batter steps out of the box are wrong. Here is the rule.
quote:
If the batter leaves the batter's box with both feet prior to the pitch and the pitcher delivers the pitch, play has not been delayed and there is no penalty for violation of Rule 6.02(c). The umpire will call the pitch as it is – a ball or strike [(per Rule 6.02(b)].
It is just called as a ball or a strike. But since the catcher extended his mitt out in front of the plate before the pitch got to the plate, it couldn’t be called a ball or a strike.
If you watch the replay the ump doesn’t call it either way. Instead he starts walking onto the field as the play was dead.
The catcher can not catch a pitch in front of home plate. I don’t know why so many people don’t seem to grasp that.
Clearly most don’t understand the rule if the batter steps out of the box, so why should we expect you to understand an even more rarely enforced rule.

Obviously you’re gonna come here to stir the pot. Put LSU fans in their place. Congrats!

Thinking Gator and Tuscaloosa are SEC refs:
“Catcher charged so that is interference”…..uh no
“Ok let me try another way. The catcher had his foot on home.”……uh no
“OK, ok the catcher’s foot was in front so I will show you bad angles that really don’t show that”
Birmingham says “the call somehow goes against LSU, the end.”
Milam says ball don’t lie, see ya

The pitcher needs to step off the rubber and throw home in that situation.
Either way, it worked out even better for LSU. Another legend born in another LSU baseball game that will be talked about for a long time.

Actually they did...the batter clearly steps out of the batters box as the pitch is being made which is an auto strike, if there is a runner on base the rule states is two strikes against the batter.
Rule 7b states it’s a ball or strike based on what the ump calls.
Rule 7.d.1.d states the batter can leave the box if a defensive player attempts a play on a runner at any base.
I think the ump screwed up because the catcher did not step on or in front of the base or touch the batter or bat, but this argument about an “auto-strike” is just wrong.

It is humorous to see all the people screaming about an automatic strike or out if the batter steps out of the box lecturing everyone about the rules of baseball.

If you are trying to say that that image shows the catcher in front of the plate you’re an idiot. He’s clearly behind the plate.
You’re own “evidence” destroys your argument.

What distance did you have on the Milam homer?
Posted on 5/26/24 at 10:29 am to Tuscaloosa
That is straight across with a shot down the line. Learn about camera angles and deception…and hell that isn’t even deception. I can’t fix your blindness

I quit listening to the casual fans who last played ball in middle school or only made the JV team a long time ago.

When do the gaytors play today?

You guys are digging those heels in. You have been presented with a rule, presented with video, and presented with photos, and you’re still trying to argue that the call was incorrect.
I don’t know if it’s funny or sad. Or maybe just a testament to what we all are as fans.
Carry on.

LSU fans are like those annoying kids that try cross the line without crossing it.
In their eyes: He was not technically touching the home plate, therefore no problem. They just ignore the fact that he was covering the plate vertically, even though may not have been touching before having the ball. The spirit of the rule is player safety and the catcher was being stupid.
Good call by the umps!

FIFY. Headed out. Gottta run

The funny part about that is the rule doesn’t say he has to be touching the plate at all. His foot was in front of the plate, and his body was so forward that he caught the ball in front of the plate all together.
But they’re still arguing about it.
