Up to 9.53 after giving up a run. 1-0 UTRGV

Wahanan is doing commentary again. I liked how he did this weekend.

 

[jake102]

Watson double, Isola HBP, Guenther HR. TCU up 3-1 going to 2nd.

 

[berryfrog95]

On track for 27-9!

 

[BrewingFrog]

Gaah. HBP, WP, run.

Wheee!

I'm a bit confused by this post..the rule that batters have to attempt to avoid hbp has been in place a while now?

Or did they make it more stringent..like it used to be that they couldn't lean in and now they actively have to avoid?

UTRV is no joke....they are 16-9 or something like that and have beaten some good teams so far this year. I bet they they are probably better then UTA...

This umpire sucks....dude almost bounced a breaking ball and called it a strike.

Update....he's worse then that...he darning sucks...strike zone is mid shin and at least 6 inches off the black. He must be a Creighton Alum and wants to go catch the bball game.

 

[Punter1]

Ump with the headfake and the called strike three on a ball 6 inches inside...this ump is clueless....

Thru 2.5...TCU up 3-2

 

[BrewingFrog]

The dude hit on the elbow was ruled to have swung at the pitch for strike 3.

The new rule states that if a batter does not attempt to get out of the way, or leans into the pitch, it is called a strike. Since he had two strikes already, it was a strikeout.

Was it Purp?

Leaning in was already verboten. That's why I was confused.

Just turned on, the Clowns at bat.

Edit. Those are some bad unis.

I don't know. I thought that was the rule since 2015. Looks to me, reading this, that the new rule addresses only attempts to lean into a pitch, as opposed to lack of effort to get out of the way?
