Last weekend featured the first games of the year for SOU softball. Maybe some people, including the umpires, were a little bit rusty?

I think I noticed at least five questionable calls and was able to photograph three of them.

Ashton Cathey

On the above play, the runner was called “safe”.

Deja Acosta

Deja Acosta

The hit below was ruled an out because, according to the umpire behind the plate, at the moment of bat-ball contact, the batter was outside the lines of the batter’s box. First of all, by this point in the second game of a doubleheader, the lines of the batter’s box are mostly gone. Second, the photo below is after the moment of bat-ball contact. She was actually even more in the box when bat-ball contact happened. Finally, how can an umpire behind the plate, who is simultaneously calling balls and strikes, see where a batter’s feet are at the moment they make contact? Aren’t they probably looking at the location of the batter’s feet a second after contact is made at best?
