  1. Stars Over Texas Bmt

    Well I normally do not comment about things like this but I feel the need to do so.

    First of all I think everyone needs to read in the rule books what OBSTRUCTION truly is.

    This was a "prime" example of why the rule is in the rule book in the first place.

    The catcher was called for OBSTRUCTION because she was set up to receive the ball, in the base line,

    about 2 feet from home plate. Contact was made with the runner "before she received the ball" hince

    both umpires agreeing on the "OBSTRUCTION" call. You can argue the point all you want and I have had it

    called both ways and been on the loosing end of this call several times but in the end its all about the decision

    that was made by two "veteran" umpires. I think the umpires did a fine job all weekend long.

    I ,for one, have learned "in the heat of the moment" it's all about how you present yourself to the umpires

    and any softball coach and umpire knows that.

    Sounds like a great idea......I wonder why this has just became an option?

    No matter the reason ...I am glad to see LU Sports on local TV.

    I wonder if this will affect ticket sales in the future...?

    How many other schools in our conference have TV coverage like this?

  11. IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL TEAMS ENTERING LOCAL TOURNAMENTS EARLY!!!!

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    I was wondering maybe we need to ask the question why is it that not all local
    teams are playing in local tournaments, if the tournament is posted on the tournament sites well in advance
    and also if local teams are not playing or signing up early....what needs to be done (if anything)
    to entice local teams and teams from out of the area to sign up early?
    Could it be that some local teams don't want to play other local teams or play them over and over again?
    If not what is the problem and how do you fix it?
    Just a question....I am not saying anything is wrong with how local tournaments are run....we have
    allways found a way to schedule local events first at least a month or two in advance then fill
    in the schedule with out of the area tournaments. Keep in mind this only works well until the college
    exposure, State tournaments and Nationals kick of strong.
