Ump needs thicker skin.

Or... when the plate meeting happens before the game. Teams are warned they will not argue balls and strikes. If he kept his mouth shut he wouldn't have been tossed. He is a pompous douche.

stratman•59 months

Really. He wasn't arguing balls and strikes. He never called the umpire a name. He never even said that the call was horrible. Ump needs to go get a massage or something. This is BS, the NCAA knows it but they have to back up their umpire. Welcome to the fight against the Man, kid.

Come on Tampa. Most pitchers are gonna be upset over not getting that call. That’s a horrible call then this kid has to miss games ... I’m sure this kid and his family have their arse off to get to this level and then have it took away because that ump is blind and has thin skin.... total BS

Ump needs to take pamprin

TDFreak•59 months

Wow. So he won’t be active for four game. Harsh rule. Probably ended his playing days for 2019.

Ump needs a snicker bar.

Dollar worth of authority, nickel worth of sense. Pussy.

KamaCausey_LSU•59 months

Depends on if the pitcher was warned first. He must have said something to the ump earlier.

NCAA umpires are really bad. Some worse than others. Many lack a consistent strike zone while others look to make overly dramatic gestures even it means making a wrong call. The difference between a Major League umpire and a college umpire is like night and day.

The NCAA is ruing college athletics. The officials in all sports are horrible.

ScaryClown•59 months

that's horrible

BowDownToLSU•59 months

fricking bull shite. That was a strike you blind vagina

RidiculousHype•59 months

A suspension of 2 games per word seems harsh... wonder if the NCAA will overturn/shorten the suspension

CDawson•59 months

Of course they want. The NCAA cover self first, worries about athletes last.

Dude kinda looks like Larry Bird

crazycubes•59 months

This is why we flipping need K-zone!

OweO•59 months

That was weak. In that situation, it could have impacted the game. Emotions come out during competition and for the ump to call it in that situation is bush league.

pellietigersaint•59 months

so he will miss the super regional in its entirety and perhaps one or two CWS games? thats harsh for a mild gesture

hogminer•59 months

He'll miss the 2 games today against Ill. St. and the 1st 2 of the Supers.

hogminer•59 months

Sorry, 1 today and 3 in Supers.

imjustafatkid•59 months

Well. That's awful.

TigerstuckinMS•59 months

The four games is brutal. Once again, the NCAA shows why they're the best in college athletics.

lynxcat•59 months

NCAA is such an archaic beast. Excited for the day that it ceases to exist.

SaintInBham•59 months

I honestly don't even know what purpose they serve anymore

GetCocky11•59 months

Could you imagine if that happened at a SEC stadium in the same situation?

ForLSU56•59 months

Hell, I couldn't even see the plate in that video. I wonder if the ump could, because that was a bad call. The dramatics, emphatic gesture by Sir Ump is overboard also.
