Never an overhead cam of those callsTexagg_27 said:
Horrible calls. Does affect the game.

I'm usually one of you "don't blame the umps" guys.
But this was especially poor. From the first pitch.
Now, if it was a big zone but consistent, then fine. But it wasnt. It was nearly all one sided in favor of tennessee.
For a team who has such good plate discipline and knows the strike zone so well, an ump this bad absolutely ****s you.
Those calls were brutal on Jace.TAMUallen said:
Jace's strike across the letters on his chest was an interesting looking strike that led to a strike out when he swung on one just like it

Vitello and Anderson won the title yesterday and today working the umps. Hate it.

Regardless of what the pc crowd says, the plate ump tonight was absolutely the difference in this game
He largely rendered our strategy of making the pitchers work deep into counts and come to the batter moot, as they were getting obvious balls called as strikes.12thMan9 said:MagnumLoad said:

No, he wasn't.

Well, he kinda did. He both called balls as strikes, making it where we had toasting at pitches we didn't want to because he was calling them strikes.
Jaces at bat was a microcosm of the entire night. Blue calls one at his chin. Jace can't catch up.to ball 4 at his chin. But he had to swing because ump already called it a strike
