What magnificent crew will we have tonight? Who will be the plate umpire?

I figure a singular thread to contain the bit...complaining... here will help with the game thread.

You are kidding, riiiiiiiiight?

There's no way I'm keeping up with 2 threads just to *****

---

No kidding complaining about blues is at least 10% of any game thread, that is just the nature of baseball fandom.

---

But we always do it on one thread. Why need a second? Why not beech on the first?

Trust me, jk agrees with us.

I suck at reading this early in the morning.

Katzenmeier was very consistent with his strike zone yesterday until the 9th inning when he started squeezing our fish pitcher.

His zone was fairly wide and low. Did not give pitchers the call on high strikes. But he was consistent through the game and for both teams. You can't ask for any more than that.

---

Since he was in the bucket yesterday it is unlikely he will be behind the plate in either game today.

Hopefully whoever we get is consistent with not an overly tight or wide zone. One blue in a game from the CWS simply killed a game by calling strikes for pitches that were not close to even catching black but crossing over the opposite batters box. Sure the pitcher showed control and continued to hit where the catcher set up but that is not how to determine a strike zone.

Because it's unnecessary and breaks tradition.

I fully expect a different strike zone between us vs tu today. It is in the cards.

sips will probably bring in Jon Bible

KU COach Terry Allen argues with referee Jon Bible over a call during the first half of KU's game with Texas. Allen lost the argument, and the Jayhawks dropped the game, 51-16, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

Y'all realize this isn't an all big 12 crew, right? I haven't looked them all up so I can't say that none of them call bdf games but I'm not as worried as some of you.

Dermypoo would personally take him out

Actually not a bad article, even though in football I always thought we started down 7 points if he was calling one of our games.

Some are accepting this thread as wayyyyyyy too literal. Containing the complain on any game thread is useless EXCEPT BY WINNING!!!

Geez..

The dream sip replacement crew would consist Yeast, Bible and Randy Christal. They pretend to throw us a bone by giving the Ags a hometown umpire Doug Williams but Dougie would blow a call just for spite for the the crap we've given him over the years.

Tough for Doug Williams he is in Corvallis OR

In answer to anyone that wonders 'Why would we complain about the umps now?'. Because we are playing the sips, THEY CHEAT, THEY CHEATED IN THE PAST, THEY CHEAT NOW, THEY WILL CHEAT IN THE FUTURE! They must win, no matter who, no matter what, no matter how. They have no, zero, zip, nada compunction about cheating. You would have to be VERY young not to know who and what they are. They are the lowest of low rents! Ask Nebraska about the sips if you do not believe other Aggies.
