When we played them earlier in the year their first baseman had his foot off the bag, called that way on the field, but they still overturned it although you could not tell from the angle

No excuse for the replay. You’ve got video that shows the ball is not in the fielder’s control until after runner’s hand is on the bag. My best guess is that they don’t want to question the authority of the ump on the field since he “had the best view of it.” (He didn’t. Had no way to see the ball enter the glove.) Im not defending it, explaining the process.
Oh this will be a white knuckler before its over. We could easily have 7 or 8 runs right now, but alas, we have 4.Quote:

Boys, we've found ourselves a solid #4 starter this year and a Sat./Sun. starter next year
Smith pitched through 4 and doing well. Good guys up 4-0 going to bottom of the 4th.
If we keep adding 1-2 an inning in another inning or two it won’t be a game at all.Quote:

Holy crap. What was that shit. You can't run the chalk????
Can you not replay that asshole call by the umps? We are getting screwed here.
There is a ZERO % chance that call gets made for LSU. 0%.
We have been shafted with two calls in this inning. the first pitch on Jake and the call on westy
Holy shit we're getting ****ed
Should be 1st and 2nd one out now. I dont understand that last call against Westburg who was clearly running between the lines.
The announcers even said he shouldn’t of been called for that. This is bullshit!!!
Is it not reviewable? If it is Lemonis just let us get screwed!
And now our smoking hot hitter gets smoked in the foot
Why no review??????Quote:

Foscue is gonna kill that ball boy down the left field line
This guy is throwing 84-85 mph fastballs. We should be ripping him.
Why did Westburg not complain??
So.....they called a ball 8 inches outside to mangum. Then he had to swing at some bullshit and popped out. The very next play after they call Hatcher out at 2nd. The next play, westburg gets hit running to first. He gets called out when he wasn't inside the line enough to matter. 17 it. Then allen takes one to the ankle. Well
I thought we wereQuote:

Man, that call against Westburg changed this whole inning.
That's 3 BB's for Foscue btw
Another bad call on that Westberg play.
Also announcers bring up an interesting point. I think baseball should change to double bases at 1st but that’s not “pure” or what have you. Player safety and correct calls > Purity imo.
True, that non strike 3 call on Foscue probably made up for the out on Westburg.Quote:

Horrible at bat by Skelton there. How was that pitcher throwing 85 mph fastballs by Skelton? Then he hits a weak grounder. 4-0 State going to the 5th.
How about just not calling the guy out running to first unless he's running in fair territory?? I mean that would work. Again, we can't get a hit with 2 on base.Quote:
