A&M getting blasted

Losses to sub par programs mid week happens, but what’s happing right now is embarrassing and they should be ashamed.

Two straight losses in the early goings is bad. Usually teams will want to kind of shore up their reputation and give it their all if they lose early to a bad team like LSU just did with Omaha and Arkansas did after they lost to k state, only allowing one run to a ranked Tcu team the next day. This might be bad for Anm.

I just saw the Florida game is officially under protest. Anyone know the details?

Stetson called for it but I can’t find out why

Bottom of the 7th, Florida was leading 2-1. Stetson had a man on 3rd with 2 outs. Batter his a ground ball that went off the pitcher's glove. Run scored and the shortstop threw the ball to first after the batter had run through first base.

But.....

Upon a review requested by Florida, it was determined that the runner had only touched the white part of first base and not the supplemental safety portion (in this case, the orange bag). According to the commentators, the rule is that the orange bag must be touched in some part. If it is not, and Florida appeals before the runner returns to the bag (which they did by throwing the ball to first, even though they did so kind of in the ordinary course of the play), then it is treated as though the runner never touched first base at all.

So, the impact is that it was the equivalent of a force out, and accordingly, the run did not score. So the score remained Florida 2 - Stetson 1 going into the 8th inning.

Then there was a 15-20 minute delay during which there was a lot of discussion between the umpires and the Stetson coach, and apparently Stetson officially protested the call and the game.

According to the announcers - and this seems wild - the protest means the following: The rest of the game will be played "under protest". After the game, the NCAA will make a determination as to whether or not the umpires got the call right. If they did, then the result of the game is the result of the game.

However, if the NCAA rules that the umpires got the call wrong, the end of the game will be replayed at a later date (probably April 15th when the 2 teams are scheduled to play in Gainesville) from the point of the protest. So they'd pick up the game with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, with the score tied 2-2 and a runner on first.

Wild.
