How hard was Bazar throwing tonight?

Brian

Blue Jay scout had him 93-97.

We need to beat the snot out them tomorrow. We're facing a rested pitching pen, incompetent umpire crew, and we have a pitching staff that's given up 16 runs in 2 days. It's games like this that separates the pretenders from contenders.

[Big Buds]

Behind the plate ump worst I've ever seen. I really don't think he can see. Many are obvious laughers.

Agreed. It was amateur hour at the Tigue!

[cajunfan79]

Baranik hasn't been himself his last few starts and that is a concern. Robe looks like it may be a little while before he gets back to form if he does. This is what concerns me!

I was at the Tigue tonight right behind home plate. From my perspective that was a double dimensional strike zone. I can't remember in all my years of watching baseball a worse umpiring crew. I am going to rewatch this game later this week on espn3 replay to get a different perspective but if it goes anything like what I saw first hand the home plate umpire won this game for Texas state. If you have a strike zone the size of a mouse hole you are going to get tee'd up (literally) like what happened tonight. At this point I don't blame the pitching for getting smashed because what I saw was a two way strike zone. Again, if I see it differently watching the TV replay ill gladly admit getting beat, but I feel like I was a kid getting jacked of my Easter candy tonight....

[CajunRed]

Don't buy that. We got out pitched and out hit. Umpiring was worse than horrible...but that is not why the Bobcats looked like a top ten team.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Well the coach persuaded the umpire to ask for help. After selling the call like he did punching him out...he should of never asked for help.

The fact is he was in perfect position to see the play, made a call right or wrong. Nobody else could possibly have a better view of the play. He should be suspended for his next rotation. Robe got tossed for explaining exactly that to him, maybe too emphatic but absolutely right.

It is OK to be wrong, it is not OK to do what he did. Then of course he misses the toss away before stepping on the base by the first baseman for TXST.

[Ned Clampett]

They (umpiring crew) must have asked for security last night. They wouldnt let anyone leave the bleachers down the third base side except for the exit nearest the grandstands. John law was blocking all the others.

[Frenchie35]

Think we need Strentz to duck and let a fastball get through.

I call the same thing last night......don't duck it would be obvious. Call for an outside pitch off the plate and come inside hard. A Bazar 97-98 MPH. Catcher reaches for in and Opps I missed it.......not to obvious. Than the catcher visits the pitcher so the ump. can regroup. Aint that what they do to help one another.....If that would have happen after the blunder first base call the crowd would have come unglued......

[Frenchie35]

2 numbers away from the 50/50... damn the luck!

Hell I was off by 6000. If your ticket is on the bottom of the jar, well there goes your chances......
