Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 3161400, member: 7757"] Florida's top pitcher, Kelly Barnhill, had a tougher than usual season. Lost , I think, 11 games. Early in the SEC season she had trouble , frequently getting called for illegal pitches. She tends to "fly" off the rubber and always has. But they called her repeatedly on it this year for awhile, but lately no calls . During the SEC tournament , the Bama pitcher was called two pitches in a row, and the announcers, who are neutral, commented that Barnhill had yet to be called once during the tournament. I have no idea what changed, perhaps some subtle alteration that is invisible to untrained eye of a lowly fan. But her pitching late in the year is what has put Florida back in the hunt. Bama beat them three times , at Florida. But Florida beat Bama once , by a score of 2-1, to win the SEC title. Not sure that is enough for them to jump Bama in the rankings, but I do not get a vote! Nor should I, so play on! :) [/QUOTE]
