Unfortunately he can. Once on the field umpires have complete control.

They do not have control over whether or not someone wears a fur coat in the dugout. He can control it if it is part of a celebration on the field of play.

Agree or disagree with this?

Definitely, the thing that separate all these teams , is they back up what they say , and they ain’t afraid to say it. And they just have a natural swag about em that’s make ppl not like em.

Coach just confirmed umps wouldn’t let us wear the coat.

Umps or ump? They take a vote on that?

Exactly.

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

He was thanking him for calling a good game and not the clown show that happened last night. Tonight's zone was a pretty fair one and accurate one. No complaints on the zone today.

 

[patrick]

Plate umpire was actually pretty good tonight - very consistent. Nice zone.

Napoleon probably has the credit card and the rest of them knew they wouldn’t get a steak afterwards if they went against him

 

[Switch 625]

He’s actually way worse and that’s saying something

Yeah, that ump is more like Percy in The Green Mile.

I would hate to be on a crew with the clown at 3rd tonight. Anyone that has ever umpired has been with a partner, or partners, that over manage the game. I am assuming they all know he is a clown.

Not true. If that was the case then umps couldnt eject people from the dugout. They can

They can toss players coaches from dugout but no authority under the rules to ban a freaking coat.

They can’t prevent them from wearing a fur coat after a home run. Show me the rule book on that.

I have realized tonight I am a jinx this year. The first FULL game I watched was Tenn Tech. The second FULL game I watched was Bama yesterday. I have watched small parts of the games throughout the season.

Today, I watched the fourth through the top of the sixth…and then turned it off. We drop 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and go on to pound Bama. Perhaps I shouldn’t watch any more games this year. As a caviat, I watched the majority last year so the jinx is clearly seasonal.

GBO

Underrated post!

My problem with the whole thing is every crew that has worked Vol baseball has taken no issue to the Coat or Cap being displayed. Why is it different for this CHUMP ass SOB ?

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

The umpire should have to answer to sec officials. This ump is a grandstanding jerk, you could tell he wanted to throw them out as soon as he got a chance. You can’t tell a team they can’t celebrate, what a tool. This shouldn’t be the type of umpiring the sec is condoning. Many folks stating the obvious this guy wants to be in the spotlight. Well he has it, he is a terrible umpire with prejudice against UT. He is a first class jerk, period. GBO!

All there doing is poking the bear . This will only flame the fire . But the boys need to keep it under control.

 

[VolPack22]

Fine come out with a pimp cane and a big gold chain tomorrow.

 

[peerless98]

They can eject people in the dugout for arguing balls and strikes, unsportsmanlike conduct, etc. They can't stop you from wearing a coat.
