How did you download them. I wanted to show my HS chapter the 2014 strike zone video (2014 video bulletin #1) but I couldn't download it. Had to be logged in to arbiter to show it.

Thanks for sharing.

 

1.Would you all agree the play at the plate in the handling situations video is OBS in FED?

 

2. I found it interesting that a one hop throw to 1st is considered a quality throw for the purpose of judging RLI. Assuming that if the runner isn't there, F3 could field the short hop throw. Always thought of "quality throw" as a throw to F3's chest on a line. Great lesson for me there.

And the more i think about I'm not sure I like you sharing these videos.. i mean I pay my $125 to see these 1st hand. But if someone is on here sharing them, why do we need to pay to see these?

Base Mechanics

 

 

 

The first base umpire here hardly sees this play with one eye .....

 

 

Agree.  I'd like to see the science that proves that he's only using one eye using that stance.

Pish-posh...one eye is plenty. You can use the other one to look for large breasted women jumping out of their seats with excitement.

I like your way of thinking!  :beerbang

And the hijacking of threads continues. It would be neat if we had an off-topic or free for all area to discuss things that have nothing to do with baseball.

 

Oh, wait.....

So I guess this thread disappeared until johnnyg08 confirmed he had NCAA permission. I wonder if all videos this season will get posted here. I guess NCAA members paid their money for the books, tests and other content on the NCAA site. If you think about it, the videos can be viewed by anyone who has a friend signed up with NCAA.

That said, I just don't understand what the NCAA's problem is with calling a balk on the pitcher for trying to deceive the runner by placing the rosin bag in the glove. They say it's not legal (else, why a warning?), but don't want to penalize it? It's in the same class as going into your pitching motion while not on the rubber--pretending something legal is happening when it is not, in order to gain an advantage.

 

Grow a pair and make it a balk. It's a BS maneuver, and if the only penalty is a warning, then it's worth a try because there's nothing to lose. If the umpires get it right, it's "Don't do that anymore." If they F it up, you gain an out.
