I am positive the crowd will be fired up tomorrow. Make sure you make that guy feel it if your lucky enough to attend

This! I posted about this exact rule several days back as part of a possible 2 strike pitch scenario. Today's situation wasn't exactly the same because the batter reentered the box before the pitch; however, the batter's box violation is still in play. Strike 3 should have been called, Dollander's pitch that was called a ball was irrelevant, and the next pitch that was lined back at him should never have happened.

So CFA and CTV got tossed because their were complaining about this ump'up? (sorry I don't have a clue why they were tossed)

TV is the best damn coach in the country, no doubts

Looks like we're going to be extremely short-staffed again tomorrow, too.

That’s a dumb blanket rule. An assistant who gets ejected by an overzealous umpire? Not even suggesting FA’s situation. But what if an ump makes a mistake?

Yeah, I remember you bringing that up as we were discussing the rule book. I am out of town away from my laptop with book or I would cut and paste it. By irrelevant I assume you mean he did not even have to throw the ball for a strike to be awarded when he stepped out of the box. Think that is what I read.

Exactly! If the batter steps out without time being granted, assuming the pitcher is still on the rubber, a strike should be called. If the pitcher delivers a pitch while the batter is out of the box, that pitch is also called a strike. Considering there were already 2 strikes, the pitch didn't matter.

To dig a little deeper, "the time of the pitch" is defined when the pitcher begins his initial movement associated with the pitch. Since the camera was on the batter only at the time of this incident, it is actually possible that the "time of the pitch" occurred also while the batter was out of the box. In this case, it was still irrelevant because the ump didn't declare a batter's box violation.

so if you’re TN just don’t answer any calls from a Birmingham area code before noon tomorrow. I don’t think the ncaa can get their report in to the SEC before noon, so we should have Vitello at least.

That ump needs to be held accountable for his actions too.

CFA was tossed because he came out after Dollander was hit with a line drive. He was upset over the batter's box violation not being as well as the Vandy dugout cheering Dollander going down from what I understand. Oddly, he was ejected by the Oompa Loompa from 3rd base with whom he wasn't even talking to at the time. In turn, TV then was debating that ejection with the aforementioned Oompa Loompa. He was not happy, but he was not yelling nor was he overly animated. Actually he was standing several feet back with his arms crossed. The same ump then ejected him. Tony then walked toward him and bumped him. The ump then went all WCW referee and acted like he had been drop kicked.

Now where can I find a 7 foot long fox in my woods?

 

[StarRaider]

@peerless98 thanks I get it now... no wonder the best coaching staff was .... not satisfied!

 

[Orange931]

The umps were pissed because there wasn’t a damn thing they could do about the dongs tonight, no doubt in my mind. F the umps and the gumps

Uros was always the one starting fights. I have Easter festivities tomorrow, so I'm probably going to miss it. I don't think you can record SEC plus.

 

[Fatdad32]

Please UT let Bob Kesling go! He can go join the sports source on Sunday’s with other UT bashers! I think he is actually jealous of coaches like Tony V who are well liked.

Go Vols

What did he say? And why is he calling this series? Him and Helton are the boringest duo imagineable.

Though not ideal, I think we'll be okay tomorrow. Coach Elander has been talked about as the next elite recruiter to get his own head coaching job. No time like the present and it's with our team. I think Richard Jackson has had enough experience working with our pitching staff to do fine tomorrow. They'll have to piece together our relief pitching, but I think we have enough depth to withstand for one game.

Hope Beam has another strong performance tomorrow.

 

[@1RBFjr]

Anybody else catch that? Russell catches last strike to end game, immediately turns and reaches out to offer handshake to ump. Classy move.

Actually he does that all the time.

That would be 205 area code.

Uros was at the game last night. I guess he was at tonight's game. Just get two fur coats and stitch them together!

Plus plenty of time to game plan with all the coaches

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Can he not go ahead and pitch if he’s in the motion when they call time?

 

[fryeguy93]

I will be highly disappointed tomorrow if the entire basketball team is not sitting in a row wearing fur coats looking like they’re at a “South Park” Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy convention.
