UL Game Played Clean . . . Umpires

[cajunhawk]

_ Robe was making the very argument I was saying most on the "foul" side are making, that the ball had already moved beyond the edge of the base before it crossed over it in the air. There is no dispute that the ball initially landed in play. _

I get what youre saying and maybe we arent clear here. So he hits the ball, yeah it bounces in play, but before the bag it hit foul. Is that the foul side argument. If so Im with it.

_ I would suggest you go check the box score again....
LOUISIANA- LAFAYETTE 3 10 3
LSU 5 6 0 _

Only 2 errors happened in the 5th. The other error was on Glass when he missed the ball and it went in the dugout but no runs happened on that exchange.

The ball only hit the ground once in the whole argument, which was in play. It didn't hit again until much farther away. The foul side of the argument is that when the ball was in the air it did not pass over the edge of the base. The "fair" side of the argument says it passed over the corner of the base while in the air. Where the ball physically hit the ground (after it initially landed in as you've conceded) has nothing to do with either argument.

But didn't you say that there were only two errors and to go check the box score, Good one buddy!!!!

No argument for you. NEXT!!!

We might as well give up tlsu, this could go on for hours

[cajunhawk]

You never answered my question geaux.

Like I said, I'll respect any argument that the ball didn't pass over the base because the play was very, very close and no one watching from that angle (camera man was not on the base line) could give a 100% definitive answer.

I won't, however, accept any ridiculous conspiracy theories alleging LSU was paying umpires or Cox was ordered to stop showing a replay, as they're unsubstantiated and ....honestly, bat_____ crazy.

[cajunhawk]

Agreed tlsu. The play didnt seem that close from what I saw, and yeah Im angry and think there was some home cooking. Anyways it was nice having a spirited conversation with ya. At least you didnt use all caps to make your point.

To those who are saying that the umpires called a good game but missed a few calls... Do yall not realize the situations that they "missed" these calls in... They were all in big situations...

[cajunhawk]

The whole momentum shifted after that play. And it shifted in the home teams favor.

I'm an LSU alumni and a Loyola Law Alumni. Does that in any way make me biased as to finding it hillarious that you're trying to blame this game on umpires or allege LSU has umpires on the payroll? Time to take off the tinfoil hat and just accept that LSU played a much better and much more consistent game. No one is asking you to lay down, they're asking you to stop wining and making up unsupported, unsubstantiated excuses for your loss.

Ok... Im not trying to get anything started or make fun of you OR call you a liar but you graduated from LSU and Loyola law but you still do not know how to spell Hilarious or Whining?

We have had horrible umpires all year. This is the only game that has spurred a 5 page posting spree. LSU beat us last night. If we can't overcome a bad call against a mediocre LSU team, then how are we going to handle bad fortune in a regional (assuming we even get to one) or even the conference tournament? The only reason people are b@#$*ing is because it was against LSU. I, along with a lot of people on this board, think that the world would be a better place if LSU were wiped off the face of the planet, but let's learn how to field a ground ball and swing the bat before complaining about the umpires.

Hicks error #1: can't throw the ball 90 feet
Hicks error #2: catch before looking to throw
Glass error #3: get over on a ball to the right side (pitching 101)
