Licking the bat before every pitch and other softball stuff, a breakdown

what I can find so this isn't the best

it's not the greatest but it's what I

found from the few things I screen

recorded let's get into it like I saw

this batter step up with a black eye no

idea what happened no idea actually got

it she had one though and then I saw

this guy looking somewhere else after

the pitch and that made me giggle I saw

this batter come up for George Mason who

was down by one run to Duke in the

seventh inning and she took her practice

swing and I thought that's normal and

then she stepped in the box and she

licked her bat a big old tongue swipe

and I thought that's not normal that's a

little odd is that going to help her out

she's got a 1-0 count pitcher leans back

tosses

swinging a mess didn't help didn't help

but she liked the way it taste maybe

because she steps out she looks at her

bat again she goes let me get that same

spot

licky licky she likes the bat and it

gotta be a Superstition maybe a big Puig

fan and the next pitch ooh she takes

that's a strike strike two I'm guessing

she licked about again but they cut away

and strike three so it didn't work this

time but maybe it's worked in the past

and maybe it'll work again in the future

for the bat licker on George Mason I

kept going and I saw this game I saw

this Auburn batter get hit by the pitch

oh and she did not like it she walks

down the pitcher was like does it did

she swing does that count as a swing and

the batter turns and says no it hit me

in my forearm right there right there

that's where it hit me I didn't like it

and here's the replay and the ball comes

and just bam right on the forearm

vibrates her whole arm the next time she

comes to the plate she's got a 2-0 count

that's the count you want to swing in

she's got the bases loaded it's a one

run game she says hit me again never

mind I hit you this time over the fence

Grand Slam onto the plate celebrates

with her teammates and then she's gonna

tell them like I told her I don't like

that [ __ ] hit me again [ __ ] yeah

hit me again [ __ ] yeah remember you hit

me right here that's payback oh Duke was

losing to Charlotte now if Charlotte

loses they get eliminated if they win

they go to a elimination game both teams

they play again because it's double

elimination 0-2 and watch this batter

just foul that one back foul that one

back foul this one back Staying Alive O2

and then she takes that one she fouls it

back the next one she's gonna put in

play it gets all the way to the wall

splits the Gap and she's gonna slide

into second tying run on the base pass

yeah that's [ __ ] gone oh

and then the next batter also an O2

pitch that one's up the middle the pinch

Runner is going to come around Duke ties

it up they don't want to play another

game they just want to win this one next

batter first pitch slices it down the

line are they gonna send her no but the

go-ahead runs on third next batter right

back to the pitcher and they come home

and get that out but it goes to review

and I was thinking well I don't know is

there something I don't know about

softball because I mean clearly she's

out there the glove hits her before she

gets to the plate and then the rule is

basically the same as MLB you can't

block the plate without the ball but

once you have the ball you can block the

plate all you want and that looked

pretty clean to me but they say safe and

the fans are like what the ball beater

what are they talking about I guess this

is what they want the catcher to do when

she sets up they want her to not be

there but there so even though the

runner's way far away she has a land I

don't know I don't really like that call

at all in the Long Island Alabama game

this was kind of wild the left fielder

she runs out for this ball she's gonna

get her glove on it and then bounces up

it lands on her head then her shoulder

and she completes the catch bare-handed

she's all jazzed up about it because

she's like what are the odds of that so

the ball goes off her glove lands on top

of her head and then onto like her

shoulder and she's gonna grab it you

look at both frames at once it hits

doink her head keeps it alive and then

rolls onto her shoulder then she's like

I got it they went and reviewed it and

they're like yeah that's cool out great

catch

and then something similar happened in

the Louisville Indiana game this Ball's

popped up second baseman's like I got it

I got it I got it second baseman catches

it shortstop kind of knocks it out of

her glove and then she catches it bare

hand and second baseman is like what

because she's all excited like hey I

caught it look I caught in the second

base was like yeah I mean I caught it

and then you knocked it out of my glove

and then you caught it

so I don't know if you get credit for

doing well because look it's in my glove

and you knock it out and then you catch

it second baseman's not giving her extra

credit for that I just caught it you

didn't have to do any of that so those

are some of the things that I saw
