Umpiring

Not sure if this was said in the game thread last night but I thought the umpire behind the plate was incredible compared to others we have seen this year. Would love for him to have the rest of our games

He was pretty consistent which is all you can really ask for.

The guy last night was the best I've seen so far. I've watched all the games and he was by far the most consistent

Best I've seen this postseason.

Wasn't the guy last night an ex-MLB ump? If so, the more accurate strike zone makes more sense. College umps tend to make the plate much wider than MLB umps in my opinion

The outside corner was definitely a ball or two smaller than previous games. And the top of the zone was lower than others too, but he stuck with it. I thought he did good. I think he just didn't want any cheap strikes or free passes.

You are seeing the issues in college now that referees and umpires who don't go through enough training aren't used to seeing the game at this speed consistently.

Some of these umps call pitches during the year once a week. That's not enough to get really good and consistent at it.

Apparently umps at the corners need to receive more training checked swing calls.

It doesn?t matter how many pitches an ump sees that will change outside corner. You can?t see the outside corner when you line up on the inside, it?s all off depth perception and feel.

No, I'm talking about. The umps at the infield corners on appeals.

Ump behind plate last nite had best college zone I’ve seen.

I agree. He had a tight strike zone but was consistent for both teams and through the whole game. That's what you want. I can't stand it when a certain zone is a ball for 7 innings then all of a sudden it's a strike in 8 and 9.

The outside strike has gotten much better over the years. 5 years ago it was consistently batters box to batters box
