Playing a pretty bad game to a tie going into the 9th, Gators explode for 6 in the top of the ninth to lead 9-3. State fans, coaches, and players all crying about balls/strikes calls…ump shrinks the zone with every complaint
I have to say that the home plate umpire last night was the worst I have seen in quite some time.
Forget about a shrinking strike zone, he had a completely fluid strike zone that changed from inning to inning and moreover pitch to pitch.
The Miss State fans were whining because their catcher was a “master framer” and sometimes the umpire would fall for the framing and then the next pitch he wouldn’t. After a while the goobers had convinced themselves that virtually every pitch was a strike.
The Fabian at bat in the ninth could be shared with the league office as evidence to ensure that clown is never behind the plate again but we know he will be.
The umpire called a pitch on the outside corner a ball and then called two straight pitches nearly a foot off the plate strikes.
No bias, no home cooking, pure incompetence.
Just thankful our guys were able to overcome it.
