Damn good run, Hogs.
Thanks for another season of great college baseball.
Game 1 was the worst umpired game I’ve ever seen by a home plate ump! Reference, I was a Major League scout for 7 yrs. and oversea scout for 11 more. The Red team had 4 dead straight center 3rd strikes not called. And the middle relief had to throw 40-60 pitches more due to the strike zone being as big as a tomato can. I’m glad the tv commentators called him out (most of the time they sugarcoat it). Perry Costello was removed from the minor leagues for that reason, inconsistent strike zone. He should be ashamed. Sun Devils did good job at taking so many pitches. If I was them I wouldn’t have a swung at a single pitch.
Speechless.
I don’t even know what to say about Arkansas’ lost to Arizona State last night. It’s ‘that game’ that proves that baseball comes down to fundamentals. Throwing/catching/hitting. Regardless of how ridiculous the strike zone was (where was the strike zone?!) we didn’t make plays when they mattered most.
However, props to Van Horn for not getting tossed from this game. There are times that coaches should go out there and give the ump a piece of their mind to get the players into the game, but I think that guy would have tossed him in a second. The team needed their coach in the dugout more than anything.
Tonight’s game is at 10 ET. (fuuuuu)
