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

That's the rule- it's an automatic strike. We got taught that all the way back in middle school. It's the idiot umpire's job to enforce the rule.

He is the worst and should’ve been gone yesterday

 

[BP4Prez]

Did Doolander stick around for the game or he was he sent out for testing?

Put him in the Smokey outfit and let him do his thing.
That would be epic

The prick 3B ump was the HP ump last night. So that explains a lot.

I only saw bits and pieces both tonight and last night and the guy was horrible every time I saw anything. I don't get why egomaniacs get their rocks off exerting their pissant authority over kids.

 

[peerless98]

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.

I would just as well him start the suspension tomorrow if it's coming. I predict 2 games but 3 is possible. Florida is an important series as well.

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.

Did the umpires in the Vandy game do anything about them?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

When will we know if (when) Tony is suspended tomorrow?

Yes, but if the ump grants time, the pitch doesn't count. The ump should never grant time once the pitcher has started his motion.

Here’s what I suspect happened

Frank got upset because of injury after what should have been a 3rd strike

Mr Napoleon responded to the comment and tossed Anderson after picking the fight and Frank bringing up his own laughable performance last night

Vitello came out to stand up for Frank and in one of my favorite scenes in my favorite movies eventually “called him a **********”

Vitello tossed. Ump does his best Sidney Crosby impersonation and flops back in horror and we spanked the Tide anyway.

V will sit a gam or 2
Blue will be punished behind the scenes.
And the home plate ump who did a great job the rest of the night started calling third strikes as actual strikes.

As long as I’ve been following college ball, umpires have always tried to avoid call third strikes on the pitches. It drives me nuts and led to injury tonight.

I BELEVE by rule when the batter stepped out of box without gaining timeout it was a strike no matter where the pitch was or if it was even thrown to the plate. Not arguing it would normally be a strike. No access to my rule book on the road to SHOW IT. Batter should have been on bench instead of hitting ball that took out our pitcher.

I believe this is the genesis of both ejections.

The Arkansas obsession with TN baseball has extended beyond the fanbase and now includes the team. Robert Moore said in postgame press media session that Arkansas is feeling very confident now after sweeping LSU and they’re going to go into the SECT and turn a lot of heads, including a team currently leading the East and let everyone know they’re still here.

This obsession has gone beyond weird. I hope his worrying about us and the SECT with 15 SEC games still to go, starts their death spiral.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Yea someone said the strike zone wasn’t being called both ways

It was being called both ways, and both of them were wrong. The ump Macias is an arrogant jerk to think he can call any strike zone he wants. Just a dirt bag, especially when you look at what he did tonight.

 

[peerless98]

Did the umpires in the Vandy game do anything about them?

I don't understand the question, sorry.

 

[Gilbert]

Ben McKee says Dollander is getting an MRI. The fear is that it’s a fractured elbow.

Would be a big blow if so.

Yes, but if the ump grants time, the pitch doesn't count. The ump should never grant time once the pitcher has started his motion.

I did not see the ump call time and the pitch was (mis)-called a ball, should have been a backards K so that is what set CFA into action

 

[TheBigOne10]

Let’s go for blood tomorrow.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad we destroyed the Turds.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Here's the video clip:

Thank you. I think if we looked at the tv ratings for UT games in Arkansas and Tennessee they’d probably be higher in Arkansas at this point.

 

[JCP201]

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

Every fan attending should have on some ratty fur coat.

Problem solved…

He didn't call time. I believe the pitch was correctly called a ball. The K should have occurred as soon as the batter stepped out of the box with his right foot.
