Seeing all those Twitter clips/posts about the LF is heartbreaking. He’s a top player for them too, but will have to wear this forever. Sadly shouldn’t have even come to that if the SS decided to turn an easy 6-4-3 DP to end it rather than get the force at third.
I like to think the Mitch Canham broke thru to Omaha as a coach this year......like Pat Casey did in '05. That worked out pretty well for Coach Casey. Thing is, the incoming recruiting class is LOADED. We'll see how the portal treats us, but so far it's guys buried on the depth chart, or hurt.
130 pitches in this day and age is unreal
Agreed. It'll be interesting if anything comes out on what was said, but seems like a vast overreaction.
I was lip reading and he told the ump he missed 3 pitches, which was correct. Very bad strike zone there in the first (and more).
Video of the sequence.
Agree that, in a vacuum, it was a fast ejection. As you say, we don't know all of the details. Maybe there was an ill-timed "mother" joke or maybe the manager had been riding the ump for a good while.
Basically any coach at any level knows that arguing balls and strikes is a no-no, although it happens regardless without being tossed. Clearly the CC coach pushed the wrong buttons by arguing balls/strikes among whatever else was said.
Oh for sure. Maybe it boiled over from game 1? Maybe he said that word you don't say to umps. But rarely do you see warnings and coaches tossed in the first inning, esp in games of this size.
That's what I was I alluding to in my earlier post - whether it was a "straw that broke the camel's back" thing.
For sure. Tense, razor-tight 1-0 game the night before - I'm sure the coach and ump weren't having tea and crumpets after that game.
Gotta love LSU fans fighting with each other during a game.....a game they are winning.
Video: Mom Goes Viral For 'Embarrassing' Behavior At College World Series
An apparent mom is going viral for her "embarrassing" behavior at the College World Series in Omaha. The LSU Tigers topped the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the College World Series. LSU topped Coastal Carolina in back-to-back games to win the College World Series for the second time in ...www.yahoo.com
Yep, Campos was fired years ago from MLB due to "performance issues."From what the CC Coach has said, the umps issued a warning and he didn't hear why, he came out to ask and they told him it was about arguing balls/strikes which he replied yeah since you missed 3. They ran him which is when he got close and started really arguing with them. From the video he looked like he had stopped moving toward them well before they tossed him. IMO way to quick of a hook.
The best part was the other ump tripping over himself and the main ump and then showing 2 fingers indicating a 2 game suspension for bumping the ref.
Coach's response "I am not responsible for the athleticism of a grown man".
I am not sure if there is any truth, but reportedly the home plate ump had been fired from MLB for having "rabbit ears and a quick hook", so of course give him the biggest game of the college world series.
I did not see any of the series so I do not know if there was more, just what was bouncing around social media and the coach's press conference. Which is something the umps never have to do, not matter how bad they are.
LSU has a long history of producing top notch pitching, but they may have even outdone themselves this year.
That's awesome.From what the CC Coach has said, the umps issued a warning and he didn't hear why, he came out to ask and they told him it was about arguing balls/strikes which he replied yeah since you missed 3.
