It was the view of the radio announcers as well. Professionals that they are, they avoided words like "suck.ed". I for one, appreciate that cause I never use profanity.

I didn't mean to offend you Z, but I call them like I see them. (Here's the sarcastic part) I don't see how you could conceivably question my use of the term "sucked" unless you were a beer swilling, college baseball lovin fool and unless you were sitting in my exact seat at the game, blah, blah ........

i dont have as much of a problem with an ump who makes bad calls or who has a small strike zone as i do wih an inconsistent ump. These guys would call a pitch a strike then 2 or 3 pitches later call it a ball. If an ump isnt giving a pitcher a certain pitch then don't give it to him at all, how can a pitcher work a batter when he throws the same pitches but one is a strike and the other is a ball. At the same time how can hitters take pitches that they question if the ump is goijng to get it right, in turn you have batters going after pitches they would not normally chase. Yesterday the ump had a called strike on xavier that was below his knees, do you know how low that is to be below X's knees. Now the umps inability to call strikes ultimately help us at the end of the game but good ar bad they were just inconsistent all weekend.

Inconsistency is the biggest problem. There are very few umps, from my usual vantage point, who have consistency throughout the game. I don't care if he calls pitches thrown behind the batter as strikes, as long as they are all strikes. I would love to see Roger Clemens or Greg Maddux come in a pitch against the cajuns. There is a strong chance that the Cajuns could knock 'em around a bit. These guys who have made livings painting corners and taking advantage of what the umps give them, wouldn't stand a chance against these knuckleheads.

Any word on who is going to get the start against La. Tech tomorrow?

Possibly Zorich? Harmon? Wellborn?


Any word on how Farquar is feeling after yesterdays outting? What about Solich? I thought he pitched very well yesterday.

Nope. Arm was a little sore, so they held him out for pitching.

Until everyone here complaining has the balls to step out there and have a 90 mph fastball coming straight at you, without a glove to catch it, and still make a call in a split second, then you can complain. Until then, shut your mouth. The umpire isn't going to change his call because you are yelling that he's blind or whatever name you can come up with. If anything, he'll keep calling the same thing.

I know that when I was umpiring baseball games, me and the catcher would laugh at the fans who were yelling about every single pitch. And this was when the fans are about 15 feet away. Lord only knows what the umpire is saying about the fans when he's about 50 feet away at the Tigue.

Reb no offense, Where you there? I spoke to several people this weekend involved in calling games locally, and both questioned the consistency. I know fans gripe about good calls all the time, but there was no consistencey in the strikezone Sunday. Yes, some people are still going to gripe regardless.
