By sec officials everytime we play SC in anything from now until the end of time?

I think it was the right call.

Throw was down the line. We had no business sending our runner home there. He was thrown out by 5 or more steps. But agree catchers a *****.

No doubt that catcher needs to be wearing a fastball first pitch he sees

This high pitched voiced SC announcer is getting on my last nerve.

You misunderstood my point. The out call was correct- I just don't see how the umpire is standing right there and does not see the catcher kneeing and trying to stomp on Gridley's hand.

***** move and if this game had gotten out of hand, nobody would be to blame but the ump for not calling that dirty play for what it was.

Gotcha yeah I agree. The umpires have looked pretty shaky this series so far. I still can't believe they called dude safe at 2B last night when th throw beat him by 5 steps and there's a clear tag.

Catcher had his leg out to block the basepath. Not sure if that's legal in the college game but I always thought the runner had to be given access to the basepath.

Catcher did exactly as taught. Perfect. Other than the after play bs. He was catching the ball before Gridley was there. Has every right to make the play on the ball.

Technically you are correct in the terminology of the game, but it's not taught that way at catcher, and it's never called since if you are blocking the plate, you are always making a play on the ball. It works itself out in such a way with the timing that I've never seen it called in college that I recall, unless it was totally egregious and there was no chance for an out.

Catcher or any other player in the field can block the basepath if they have the ball.
