the stepping on the plate call has been called in three different BC games...its obvious the umpires are watching it.....
That is not what this call was. He was not called out for being on the plate.
I agree they are watching it, but they need to know the rule if they are going to call it because the way they call it is not the rule.

But with all you know about it it would seem you were watching his feet, since you know with certainty he did nothing wrong. It's really a moot point. HF lost a run to a bad call as well, and the winning margin was large enough that I don't think the play would've had much of an impact on the final outcome.
I don't think that it made a difference in the game either. I am merely voicing the fact that the umpires are not calling this correctly by the rules. I wasn't watching his feet either (honestly no one is), but I know where he puts them on that count which gives me the certainty that he did nothing wrong.
you keep saying that they lost a run on a bang bang call at first base. I agree it could have gone either way, but the back pick was also missed that allowed a run to score. You can beat those to death.
Fact is, umpires in this area do not know the rules in regards to the batters box.

I was at the game. I wasn't watching his feet. If he was set up at the back of the plate his foot would not have to be on home plate to be completely out of the chalk. There's plenty of no-mans land back there.
You just made my point. You were watching the ball, not the foot.....

thats not where it is located. It is a "point 2"

You can't step across the inside line behind the plate?
You can, but not where is foot is. Were you not at the game last night? Based on the call last night, his foot would have to be on home plate for him to be completely outside of the chalk. Period

unless you're standing in the back half of the batter's box. there's more than enough room to put a whole foot out of the box back there without touching home plate.
True, but this is not what was called in this instance. It is about the inside line. the inside line is 6 inches from the edge of home plate.
As I have stated many times, you cannot be completely outside the chalk and not be on home plate from inside.

I keep hearing this, and it may be correct, but since nobody was actually watching his feet except for the umpire and the catcher, it's kinda hard for me to understand how you guys know exactly what he did or didn't do. either way, if nothing else, it balanced out the run that HF lost when their runner clearly beat out an infield single that would've scored a run, but instead was called out to end the 2nd.
2017 NFHS Baseball Rule Book, Rule 7, Section 3, Art 2 states "Hit the ball while either foot or knee is touching the ground completely outside the lines of the batters box or touching home plate."
Since you cannot be completely outside the lines of the batters box and not touch home plate, there is no way he should have been called out. Not to mention both of those individuals should be watching the ball, and therefore cant see the feet.

some of the fans were griping about the catcher making the call, so I'm assuming that the HF catcher noticed it on his previous swing and alerted the umpire (which is great catching, IMO)
But its the wrong call, according to the rule book

Chalk the boxes... Problem solved hopefully.
Doesn't solve the problem. That line is gone very early in the game.
Problem is that umpires do not know the rule. You could have the heal of your foot on the chalk and as long as your foot is not on the plate, you are still considered in the box. With any normal size foot, its impossible to be completely outside the lines and not be on the plate.

3-1, mid-3rd. Angry fans over a BC player stepping on the plate on his swing and getting called out on what would've been a single. Forgot how much fun baseball is
Player was not on home plate. That was not the call. The call was for being completely out of batters box, which is an impossibility without being on the plate.
The umpires in this area have no clue to what the rule is.

Man! That's even more confusing than what I first thought!! So basically, the way it should have looked was that it was the 3rd strike but the catcher missed it, which the runner can advance to first, but he didn't run and the catcher (Thibodeaux?) threw it to first and should have been the 3rd out?? But the the ump said he didn't swing but then didn't even register the pitch as a ball?? Lol! Crazy!
yep you got it....

I was listening to the game. And it sounded like a bad call. But I also remembering the guy on the radio say if if the batter would have ran to first on the pass ball he would have probably been safe. Is that true from someone who was there?
More than likely because the ball got away about 12 feet on third base side

Honest, non homer question. What happened on the call when Teron check swung and the ball got passed the catcher? I was confused on that. Wasn't It a 3-1 count or 2-1, and Teron (think it was Teron) check swung but the ball got past the BC catcher and missed it but the count stayed the same. Then we scored the go ahead run. Maybe Roderick Robertson can shed some light in that. I wasn't there but listening on the radio and it sounded very confusing.
It was 2-2 count and it was a swing, damn near full swing, which should have been the third out in the inning with the throw down to first. Umpire in the field should have seen it, even from his location, it was so obvious. However, the supposed SEC umpire behind the plate, didn't advance the count to 3-2, so the next 2 balls made this at bat a 5 ball walk.
Jack threw a hell of a game. No doubt about that.
