Of course, message board posters are never happy after a loss (duh) but this one was interesting: I WAS AT ALL 3 GAMES 9 Apr 8, 2023, 8:17 AM Lonnie Almeda gets far too much deference from the ACC umps. They are terrified of her. I haven’t seen an umpire coach a pitcher on how to throw a legal pitch since my daughters were in mid-level travel ball. I’ve certainly NEVER seen them do so in a D-1 game, let alone 3 times with the same pitcher in the same game. They give her players extra leeway with stoppages in play to chat on the mound for minutes before interceding- all weekend. Allowed her to stop play for 10 minutes to try and keep her injured player in the game while she received treatment in the clubhouse. Not even mentioning the balls and strikes debacle last night. I’d love to see us leave the ACC if for nothing else than the officiating in football and softball is deplorable. The league office seem to do nothing about it.
