As a parent with a daughter in softball... She knows if it’s unsportsmanlike she won’t have to worry about the coach I already told her she would be benched by me her dad. I would rather see them lose and show respect and be a class act then act like that. We take pride in our team showing respect. Win or lose. Some injuries last a lifetime.

[@cardinalRG]

Great comment. May I add that the composure you're instilling in your daughter will make her a better player, and in turn that will contribute to more wins. In contrast, acting out and lacking sportsmanship actually degrades performance, and it sure as heck doesn't sway officials to your side!

[@carew97]

She did, by the college who recruited her. They dropped their scholarship.

[@marmac2768]

What the runner could have and should have done is to slide and take her feet out from under her. She would have been safe and the catcher would have a hard fall on her butt. Of course, and people forget this, these are kids and their ability to "think on the fly" is not quite where it will be in a few years.

[@moosecat]

I try to be a mellow fellow, but if I was the coach of the team who had two girls essentially sucker-punched, I'm of half a mind that I'd tell the third girl to plow into the catcher so hard, people will forget about the Pete Rose/Ray Fosse collision in the '71 All-Star Game.

I remember when we had a similar situation like the last video. Catcher kept blocking the plate and giving guys a shoulder check if you didn’t try going around him. Difference is we had someone on the team who had no problem running him over. One home plate collision later, catcher was crying and their coach was yelling at ours “teach your guys how to play baseball!” … we won, 20-8.

[@glasshalffull8625]

Payback is a biotch !!! I coached youth baseball for 12 seasons and if I had ever caught one of my players pulling that crap, they would have been benched and there would have been a serious come to Jesus moment with the player and parents. No excuse for intentional actions that could injure a player.

[@jameserickson8015]

I'm surprised, after the first time, that the next runner didn't cleat her.

[@inhumanhuman1881]

oh i am the one who has no problem running over players who do this. being in sports for so long teaches you to know when that kinda shit is intentional. if a player is in the baseline accidentally, i never try to do more than a nudge or slight bump that isnt overbearing or more than necessary. if i dont get the call, oh well. but in this instance, oh ive slammed straight into them. i remember we were in a suuuuper close softball game last highschool ball season, and the catcher did this every. single. time. in the baseline, right in front of home. even if the ball was in the outfield!!! so after trying to warn her several times by bumping/slightly less than shoving her, i just slammed right into her. keep in mind that i only slammed into her this time bc the ball was in the infield, and she "could have" made a play for me. but she was not in possesion of the ball, and she was right in front of home. so, BAM. i got up, tapped home, and jogged to my dugout. the catcher on the other hand, couldnt quite find her breath for a few moments... 😁

Is no need for that with the catcher. You handle that on the field during the game or you let it go. The first thing you do is wait for the ump to do something. If that doesn't work you tell your players that if she is in the baseline when you are coming home to take her out. OR have your pitcher take her out the next time she's up to bat.

I have umpired baseball for over 20 years. Some of the examples here are marginal at best but mostly well outside the bounds of incidental contact. I saw at least three umpires that witnessed the incidents of contact and did nothing. It is up to an officiating crew to monitor this and make it clear that these incidents are not allowed. The umpires, for the most part, should be ashamed for permitting this type of behavior and should not be allowed to officiate at any level!

We were well ahead in the final minutes of the last period and since it is was possible to miss the next game, I decided it was time to challenge this jerk. Right after he put a hit on one of the girls on our team, he was carrying the puck up the board’s I delivered a hip check that stopped him cold, with a satisfying grunt. The ₧ussy that he was, just complained to the ref and I lost out in teaching him a real lesson on fair play. BTW, no penalty called.

I played a lot of basketball late 70s thru maybe 1986. That was when the game was a lot more physical. I never at any point tried to hurt an opponent. I played rough but not cheap shot dirty at all.

[@itsmeforsure5475]

b-ball is not as rough as it once was, but there's a very dirty play thats been going on for 30 yrs and just now is being called in the NBA. WHen a jump shooter goes up, the defender walks up to the shooter with hands up but their intention is to have the shooter land on the defenders feet. Thats been going on for way too long. If you are trying to bother the shot, you jump to the side of them for better reach on their shooting hand.

@@itsmeforsure5475 Bill Lambeir of the Pistons was very astute at sliding that foot under Robert Parrish. . Bird said Bill tried that once on him and Bird returned the favor.

[@ioccatonyz1]

I agree, the tag was not light but it was not a cheap shot either...

[@bartvance8805]

As a coach I would have the next player running home to completely steam roll the catcher. Full speed, elbows up and out front and just cream her. It would be her own damn fault and I wouldn't shed a tear. If the refs won't call a fair game, I am definitely going to do something about it to protect my players by taking one of theirs out of the game, hopefully. I have been an amateur coach before and have various levels of qualifications for referee and umpiring in four sports. Although there were a few unfortunate events, like that girl getting in front of the runners line before the first base pop-up, most the really bad ones were obvious, and the video shows an ump standing right there in clear line of sight, and multiple times with that last cheating catcher.

[@ATSaale]

That one where the runner hit the girl making a catch was blatant on the runners part. Giving the fielder enough room to make the play is one of the first things you're taught in regards to base running. If I'm the ump that player is ejected immediately.

[@csnide6702]

screw that -- plunk her HARD the next time she comes up to the plate......

[@jimpowell2296]

My girls played fast pitch. There was a team that had a pretty big 15 year old bully. She played smart dirty. She would take angles. My oldest daughter was a catcher. She was small at 5’2” and 115 lbs. but fiery with a great arm, quick hands with the bat. A play was a hit up the middle, this bully girl was on 2nd, she rounded 3rd to come home the throw was a great one hop to my kid at the plate. She saw her coming and it was a bang, bang play. She caught the ball in a crouch with her feet firmly planted under her. The runner tried to run over her. She took the hit and extended her legs and body upward, flips the girl over her shoulder. Out was the call. The runner lay there and slowly got up, the ball went around the horn. The rest of the game the bully was quiet and did not try anymore cheap shots.

[@patrickpeterson7187]

[@robreber9355]

The umpire's need to be taught how to handle the situation properly. The last girl that was catching should have been trusted from the game for interference, as with a lot of the other players. I was a ump for a lot a years and I had no problems throwing players out of a game for not following the rules. I threw out a few coachs as well. I just called what I saw and never favored anyone. That's what a ump is supposed to do.

[@karlrovey]

If I'm the coach for the team on offense on that last one, I'm getting myself tossed telling the ump to do something about that malicious contact.

[@deebee9917]

:34 sec was a good play by 1st base i see no problem with it

[@AzzKicker-bz1cb]

Maybe that’s why there’s a problem with that play!!! You probably played that same way!!! Baseman standing on the baseline getting ran over, is baseball/softball! When the player at the base is in the baseline path, they take responsibility for their own placement, the runners aren’t supposed to run out of line with the bases! But when you have players throwing elbows at runners when the ball is nowhere near them, that should be immediate ejection from the game and possibly other game suspensions!!! To continue to allow that player to remain in the game is tantamount to approval of their actions!!!

[@paulmartin7535]

Hit the 2nd longest HRun in NShore Park, MB,Fl. Previous inning playing 3rd, runner comes in cleets-up, (we used steel cleets back then early 60s, none of this "rubber spikes bullsiht")ended up bleeding like hell, could barely walk, and then at bat really creamed the ball. Fell down running to first, couldn't support myself, fell again rounding 2nd, and barely made it safe at 3rd. Coach looks at my sock, on the right shin, and it's covered with blood. Calls time out, pulls down my sock, calls the ump over to witness, home plate umpire gets involved, saying he watched me fall and wondered why, he sees my ripped up shin, stops play, says to my coach, can your player make it to home plate?, Coach McMullin looks at me, almost yelled F%%% YEAH!! but just nodded, and walked to home, people cheering, people booing, didn't care . After game me and sev close buds, incl Mr Spikes, went to an ice cream joint on Collins Ave. Spikes was impressed, both with the damage done, and my guts for still playing. We were good friends before and after.

[@mattmcgovern230]

That catcher throwing elbows was needing a good lumpin'!!!!!

[@scottjackson638]

The last part of the clip involving the catcher in the softball game is really about the head coach. In my view, the catcher's behavior reflects on the coach. When the opposing players/coaches comment about the catcher's behavior on the diamond, they should clearly acknowledge that it reflects more on the coach than on the catcher. The behavior displayed by the catcher is NOT the default behavior of a young person but is reflective of what they learn from adults and other authority figures (including the player's parents).
