G1: ULM vs Louisiana

[LifeTimeCajun]

That's the key. Very unprofessional.

Well, I applaud this umpire for one thing...doesn't matter if the call was right or wrong. He stood his ground and didn't ask for help from an umpire whose responsability was to track and watch the runner coming from third to home. That's kinda where the screw up came a few weeks ago. If there was no runner coming in from third...that's a different story. In the end, I'd imagine tony appreciated that umpire standing up for doing the right thing regardless of the outcome of the call. On a side note, tony stayed a FULL body width away from the umpire while arguing

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.

After what happened a few weeks ago, there was no way in hell the 1st base umpire was going to ask for help. Safe and out calls at 1st base are for the 1st base umpire and he made the call. He may have missed the call, but sometimes you have to live with a bad call. Not really a big deal after all.

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 do like the way the game announcer handled the name issue last night. After each inning, it was Louisiana XX, and ULM XX. Did it that way the whole game. An opposite approach than football last year.

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?

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.
