For All the Marbles - WCWS Championship Game, Michigan vs. Florida, 7:00pm CDT ESPN
The game means everything. GO BLUE!!!!!!
Give me a fucking break!
And I bet those Florida gals are coached to turn into the path of the ball.
Looks like Sepp Blatter has his hand in SB officiating
is funny. +1 to you, good sir.
i've never seen worse officiating in any sport.
but these fuckers are so fucking casual about the way they suck.
Their "ump conference" last night:
Ump 1: You suck?
Ump 2: Yeah, I suck.
Ump 3: Yep, I suck, too.
Ump 1: Good deal. So we're on the same page with the whole sucking balls thing. Call stands.
Big K. 2 down.
Holy fcuk! Are these refs on the take?
are good and get it right. Tonight, they are having a hard time getting it right.
There's no disincentive to not lean in to get hit...softballs aren't going to injure
twice
YouBetsa!
Swinging strike, Betsa escapes the jam. It remains just barely possible to come back. 7-8-9 coming up for Michigan.

Let's get some back.
Betsa gets us out of the jam without further damage. 4 runs is surmountable, a tough hill to climb though. 1 or 2 runs in this inning and we're there.
FANTASTIC from Betsa to battle through that BS
Still five innings left. We are not out of this.
but it will be damn hard to crawl out of this hole.

Big Ks
Don't you have to try to get out of the way of the ball? The fuck.
In softball you don't have to get out of the way, but you can't deliberately lean in, which in Florida's MO. They've been doing it all season long.
Florida came back from a 4-0 deficit earlier in the year to beat us. They came back from a 4-0 deficit in the 7th inning to be us on opening day last season. It's time to return the fucking favor.

EPIC COMEBACK!! let's break their hearts...
Worked out of a tough inning.
but the past two games have me thinking scoring 5 runs in 5 innings vs. Florida is very, very unlikely. First time for everything though
The refs are NOT doing a bad job. Has there been a single call go Michigan's way? No. If the refs just sucked they would make bad calls all over the place.
mentioned the other day that Florida leans into the pitches a lot. That seems to be half their offense plus they take half the plate away from the pitchers. You basically can''t pitch inside to them.
I'd be surprised if Hutch didn't mention UF's tactic of leaning into pitches to the umps before the game. That's what they're known for. Some umps have the cojones to make the call, some don't.
We got punched in the mouth. Time to regoup and fight back.
Let's go hit some big, yellow balls.

fairly new to softball, but feels like they NEED to change the hit-by-pitch rule.
the penalty for missing an inch inside should not be a free base runner.
there you go.
ha...let's go for 20 hit by pitches!!
Hutch takes a page out of Florida's book. Fuck it get on base. Doesn't matter.

WIN THE GAME
Yes! Taking a page out of Florida's book!
Wagner wears one, and she sure as Hell didn't lean in. Runner on 1st for the first time today. McGary sighting!

What do you bet that Hutch told her to get hit, since the Ump is allowing it..
Smart.
I think this will be the first softball thread to pass 1,000 posts. Your grandchildren will ask you about where you were on this day
