[CajunEXPRESS]

The "internal use only not for media use" hyphen is alive and well for UL in the News Star. Thanks, Karl.

I am pretty sure our esteemed leader T-Jo came up with the hyphen. I know, I know but when you load the gun and get your brains shot out, you cannot blame the owner for failing to tell you all the possible problems or his intentions.

This hyphen mess is at our feet and nobody else's.

I believe they rotate the way of the bases. Putting him at 3rd today and behind the plate Saturday. Looking at the number of arms the hoax threw last night, I don't know if he can affect anything then.

They rotate clockwise. He'll have the plate tonight.

Thanks for correcting me.

Is Baranik on a short pitch count tonight?

[BirdofParadise]

Yea, but an easy non-controversial way to resolve that is to conference, home plate umpires says I was watching the runner from third, we agreed to go with the 1st base umpire's call. Tell Tony. He walks away upset but feels they at least tried. At that point, no one can argue anymore.

I agree with everything. After what happened a few weeks ago, I didn't necessarily want the call to be overturned. Hey...go through the motions. As I said last night, it's the first time in maybe two years I see an umpire refuse to ask for help, even if he was sure. They have done it when requested. Now I'm assuming Tony requested. I will ask him to make sure.

Thanks for correcting me.

Is Baranik on a short pitch count tonight?

Yes. Tony said on yesterday's pre game he'd probably go no more than three innings (depending on the pitch count, I assume)

[CajunAmos]

They rotate clockwise. He'll have the plate tonight.

Speaking of clockwise, I noticed the Ragin Cajun clock from the old scoreboard was running on time last night. Was this the first time or have I been dozing.

The News Star report on the game. Two minor points of interest. First is the byline. The story is from university news services not written by The Skank. I've noticed this in other recent games against the Hoax and Hoxettes played down here. Apparently The Skank doesn't travel down here to UL. Second, check out the abbreviation reference to UL and the reference to the Hoax. The "internal use only not for media use" hyphen is alive and well for UL in the News Star. Thanks, Karl.

Tabby works for Gannett. They aren't paying for her to go on the road in basketball and baseball, with exception of post season. Pretty much the same is true for Tim Buckley. Same company.

I didn't see it, but Jay said is was clearly a missed call. I am surprised the guy didn't conference with the other umps on his own, but if he was asked and refused, that is extremely odd. It may very well be a reaction to Tony and the suspensions laid on the prior officiating crew. Regardless, we won without it. Hopefully, this guy won't want to make any further mistakes and will be the invisible unbiased umpire he's supposed to be. Video evidence is not on his side. He made two mistakes last night. The call... and the refusal to conference.

I was sitting behind home plate looking directly down the right field line and I gotta be honest it looked like the catch was made just before his foot came off the bag.

[BirdofParadise]

We had the advantage of seeing it on replay up in the booth. He missed it.

Man I had such high hopes for Milhorn last night. I don't agree to shut him down for the year, but he needs to be a situation guy from here on out. Just to get righties out.
