Alabama's head baseball coach suspended one game

[Todd4State]

of our doubleheader. Apparently he had a disagreement with an umpire after the game- I'm not sure over what.

[TUSK]

REC not doin' werk.

[I seen it dawg]

Hahaha prob that floating strike zone. Guy was ****ing horrible

[Dallas_Dawg]

Good, at least he can make it to Miss Gridley's wedding***

It was for arguing with the ump over balls and strikes. It happened around the 7th or 8th inning. Jim mentioned it and said the ump wrote it down and he was sure the SEC office would be hearing about it.

I saw him arguing and I was surprised that the umpire didn't run him. I guess this is how they do it now.

I thought so too. His K-zone was all over the place to include 3-inches off the ground.

[shoeless joe]

So frikin ridiculous...how are coaches held to such a higher standard than the umps? I only got to see the 7th-9th and he was garbage. And now a coach is suspended for standing up for his team? Absolute garbage. Zero accountability in college officiating and baseball is the worst of the bunch.

Watching it on the TV, the strike zone was moving but it benefited Bama. The guy that got called out should have struck out 2 pitches before but the ump shrunk the zone. I guess his point was the batter thought that since the other 2 pitches that were over the plate were balls then the last strike should have also been a ball.

"I see that and raise you"

any ref working a Bama football game. Holding penalties are just myths.

I thought the same thing. There were at least 3-4 times it looked like two consecutive pitches were in the exact same place and he would call one a strike and one a ball.

We are a bigger name in Baseball so Bama just need to suck it like we do in football when we play them in that sport.

I fully accept and embrace the possibility that MSU may have benefited from the officiating... our baseball team never really had a chance, anyway...


That's how it's done*

Yeah baseball officiating, especially behind the plate is questionable, but i still think basketball is by far and away the worst.

Absolurely, would have hated to pitch to that guy last night, pitchers had no idea where to throw it, ump moved all over the place with his zone.u

[Mjoelner34]

I saw Gridley strike out on a ball that I think may have bounced to the plate but he had no choice but to swing. He was down 0-2 and those two strikes would have hit the catcher's feet if he hadn't gloved them. I saw several more throughout the game like that too. I commented to my buddy that if you hit homeplate with the ball, it must be a strike. Our next at bat the guy pumps a belt high fastball over the center of the plate against Bragg and its called a ball. I didn't have an issue with the guy's in and out calls. It was his up and down calls that constantly moved.

Basketball is so subjective that I think the officiating at every level in bad. But in baseball there is a ridiculously marked drop from pro to college...I mean I've been around high school umps that are light years better than D1 umps. It's a shame, it hurts the college game immensely, and it won't change until there's reasonable accountability.

Ain't that the damn truth!

Yep, I think that was what the Bama coach was saying. The exact same pitch the batter struck out on was a ball on the first 2 pitches. The pitch was on the inside of the plate right above the knee. The announcers even mentioned it looked like a strike the first 2 times but then he finally called it on the last pitch. Sucks for the batter but with 2 strikes you have to expand your zone to prevent that. It takes a great eye to think it is in the exact same spot so it is a ball.

And bama baseball was great when????

They don't have like 130 or so nattys from earlier in last couple of centuries do they? ******

They were pretty good a million years ago (30s???) and when Wells was the coach (90s?)... Without digging, I think I recall they are historically similar to, to just below MSU in terms of wins, championships, etc...

But, it certainly isn't a "big deal" over here like baseball is in S'ville....

Mid 1990's. They've been pretty average since then.

Baseball all we've had. Got women's hoops now tho ... but being MSU something will probably go awry there haha.

I thought the ump was struggling to see balls pitched to his left side last night. Maybe his left eye wasn't working so he was guessing. ***

Bet you watched the game last night.

[mstatefan91]

Yeah he was arguing over a called strike that had been a ball the previous two pitches. Understandable. Ump was all over the place. As a batter, you have to have some kind of consistency or you're just 17'd.

[Mjoelner34]

As a batter, you have to have some kind of consistency or you're just 17'd. A moving strike zone hurts the pitcher too.

[mstatefan91]

There is a reason. And football and basketball are WAY worse.

Yup. The kid got 7 strikes before he was
Called out.
