It seems like the umpires either ignored or didn't know the "would've been out either way" part of the rule because it was buried in the footnote.
I'm assuming the discussion/clarification was just an emphasis on the common sense part of the rule: if the runner is out by 5 feet, the runner is fucking out, there is no obstruction
I'd consider her a once in a decade type of pitcher. There have been a handful of sub-1.00 ERA seasons, but to do it consistently over a career? She's the only pitcher since at least 2010 with a career sub-1.00 ERA.
Part of the lure of transferring to Tech right now is the chance to playb offense with Canady pitching. By herself, she essentially guarantees you a WCWS berth, maybe even a top 4 finish. Is rich husband going to keep paying a roster when there's not a generational player, guaranteed top 4 finish, like her on the team? Are All Americans going to want to go there once Canady is gone?
I mean yes, but I was going for the Alan Jackson joke...
Also, Another Bites the Dust is also perfect, but I tell my students they probably shouldn't sing that one out loud...

And Big League Chew
My argument for Cat used to be that TK's more wins are also a benefit of the offense that supports her....
But 0.00 ERA in the WCWS on the way to a title speaks for itself.
Pitched the whole game, gave up walk off grand slam to Reese in game 1 ^
She pitched in relief in game 2 and had to work around a few walks, but ultimately no hits, no runs in 1.1 innings
Blew the save in game 3. Gave up 3 hits and 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th including a walk off single
