G3: LOUISIANA vs COASTAL

[ragincajun97]

It was the home plate empire's call to make not the first base one. After pinny threw the ball home the home plate signaled out which should mean he thought it was a fair ball. A first base ump should not be able to overrule a home plate ump especially when the first base ump view is blocked

The umpire makes a judgement call if the ball is fair or foul in the air where it is caught.

The problem is...it wasn't his call

Well...we still haven't lost a weekend series in a long time

Yes it's a judgement call. But the right ump needs to make the call. How can the umpire behind the fielder make a call on where the ball is.

A great battle between both teams. I love that we responded today even after getting punched in the mouth hard early

Maybe the catcher or runner blocked his view and he gave the call to 1B. I don't know. We are just not getting any breaks.

I guess one of the frustrating things is that you were essentially 5 outs away from a sweep that would have maybe put us back in the rankings, kept us a top the conference standings and most of all, you feel really good about this team "hitting their stride."

Now, we're no closer to figuring this team out. 4-0 and riding high, now 2-1-1 and still waiting for that run of wins.They're good, then they're not so good. Pitching is dominant and then pitchers can't close out games. We can't hit a beach ball, then we mash, then we struggle again.

That's baseball, I guess.

So much for this series turning the season around.

This team is like a box of chocolates............

The frustrating part is, we were given many gifts Saturday, had a 3 run lead into the 9th and the strength of our team with the game in its hands. Failed.

Offense battles to claw back and take a 2 run lead into late innings today, with the strength of our team yet again, with the fate of the game in its hands. Failed.

Overall, I was very disappointed in our coaching decisions this weekend. I feel like the team has been over managed, micro-managed and psychologically beat to a pulp by boneheaded decisions coming from the dugout.

I give CCU credit for having the guts to make us pay for our errors, but overall, I was not overly impressed with them as a team.
