Get at least two at home and at least one on the road. We're right on track.

We shouldn't let that go. If for no other reason than make sure he can't call our games anymoreQuote:

The film of this ump body bumping Hunter as Hunter was backing away needs to be sent to the SEC office. If that ump had done that at the Dude I might would come out the stands and bitch slapped that ump my self. I don?t think I?ve ever seen a ump body bump a player as the player was backing away.
This ump better not show up at the Dude!
Aggies are the better team w/o a doubt.
Rolls reversed, Hines would get suspended. Not sure why the umpQuote:

Pretty out of character for Hines to react like that. I’ve never seen him show boat or mouth off very much in his career. The strike zone was trash. That angle didn’t really show to much of a chest bump from the ump.
You need the tv angleQuote:

I found this morris hodge. He did umpire a few games in mlb as a replacement ump. I see why they didn't keep him!
Morris Hodges umpired a number of major league games around the turn of the 21st century, although he was never part of the permanent umpiring staff. He was brought up from AAA to fill in when regular umpires were unavailable. He saw his first action in the National League in September of 1999, when he worked 7 games. The two leagues combined their umpiring staffs in 2000 and he had his busiest season, coming up for 22 games. He then worked 16 games in 2001, the last coming in May.
Who cares. The ump has no right to do why he didQuote:

We are about to go 2 straight weekends of the home team winning the series its looking like
Exactly, He looked like an unhittable all American today.Quote:

But if you only score One run on Sunday. You will lose.

I'm with you on that, the coach should take up for his players with umps that are out of line. I've always been a praise in public, chew ass in private guy. Sometimes that isn't always possible, but that's what I tried to do.Quote:

I remember one time we had a really bad ump and I had been riding him most of the game. He told my catcher(who just happened to be my son), I'm gonna run that guy! My son told him go ahead he don't care!Quote:

I’ve always wondered how hard it is for a coach to really gauge off the plate one way or the other from the dugout. I’m sure they get feedback from players. When I’m seated over the dug out in stands it’s hard to gauge if it’s off the plate or not and how much. Some of your baseball gurus enlighten me from that angle how they can really tell.
They know simply by where the catcher sets up if his team is on D.
Coaches have real time access to Trackman from what I have heard.Quote:
