Tony, Tone, Toni..... Where to begin....

Are we discussing elevation or pitching rules as a whole? If elevation, watch Jordy Bahl from Oklahoma. Tell me what you think and then do a deep dive on how many illegal pitches each has had called. Pitching rules as a whole? Watch any screwball pitcher such as Sandercock from FSU. Their lead foot almost always lands outside the pitching lane but yet no calls for that. Seems to me that provides just as much advantage as leaping by adding increased spin on the ball. The issue is selective enforcement. AND I use selective rather than inconsistent because I think umpires are picking when and where and against whom they enforce it. Just makes the application of the rule seem kinda sketchy and agenda driven. Of course, as Hokies, we seem to get the short end of the stick once again. All that aside, Go Hokies! Swamp People is a great show. Love what they do to them gators...

I asked you before what constitutes more egregious, and you never

Leaving the ground is leaving the ground; the rule is dumb
hokiepro 05/27/22 09:08 AM ET
Nobody is disagreeing about the dumbness of the rule ....
hokietony 05/27/22 09:40 AM ET
And THAT is the egregious the enforcement. The rule has no nuance built in**

And everyone should be penalized, in other words. **

Well; here’s the point: if their own ace does it; maybe they’ll be less

And it certainly is easy enough to forward video of these pitchers

Would have been swept for the 1st time at home - EVER
