Erwin behind the plate for game 1 of Oregon/Kentucky super.

He warned a batter for losing her grip on a bat while swinging at a pitch. The announcers were dumbfounded with why he would do this. This guy is a total attention _____.

[cjr3888]

His explanation was that he warned her because he thought the bat hit the catcher. He then initially called the batter out the second time then changed his mind. I was waiting for the Oregon coach to go ballistic on him. I wouldn’t hire Erwin to ump a t-ball game.

And another missed call on a tag at the plate. No excuse not to have replay in these situations.

Yep. Catcher tagged D.J. square on the bum.

[axg8750]

He just blew another obvious call at home plate. How is this guy allowed to umpire at this level of softball? Does it have to do with some type of affirmative action strategy by NCAA? I can think of no other explanation to allow an umpire who is this horrible to umpire D1 softball games.

The bum didn't see the tag on the bum. Pretty ironic the X-Cajun was called safe when she was clearly out.

Erwin is clearly a cultist.

[CajunPride]

Well maybe he is not biased for the SEC. Could be just dumb and blind.

Can't give up on the guy yet, you never know if he keeps calling games maybe he might get a call right one day.

I got some screenshots on DJs safe call. I'll post when I get to desktop... OMG. David Erwin needs to go back to rec ball. This guy is a disgrace... bout as bad as some of the travel/rec umpires we run into. Terrible. Maybe it was just an honest mistake. Indiscriminately terrible and incompetent.
