I think that ump was lookin for and waiting for a reason to throw someone from Tn out of the game!

 

[lukeneyland]

It may have been a bad call, but IMO Drew deserved to be tossed. Huge life lesson there. I hate it for him and the team, but he needs to bring it down a notch or five.

What because he hurt someone’s feelings? Piss off

 

[Weezer]

I get Drew plays with emotion, but now is not the time to be crossing the line. If he's out tomorrow, too, that hurts this team.

[K-town Vol Fan]

Its literally in the rule book.

Then it shouldn't be.

 

[KB5252]

Looked smart to me.

Putting him in a game that was already lost? Why waste pitcher3 on a lost game early in a 3 game series? If he keeps us in the game I'm down with it, but we're not in this game.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Our best player? He’s clutch and a great player but he doesn’t even lead statistically.

Yes, our best player and emotional leader.
But I’m drunk, so what do I know?

GBO!!

 

[Orange931]

Who do you want up in key situation?

We’ve got several that can step up. It’s not the end of the world.

If this team doesnt get to Omaha...what a massive choke job that will be.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

With what is at stake, ump should have issued a warning first. This is intense competition, and things are said in the heat of battle.

 

[drylo]

It was strike one for goodness sake. Certainly not worth dropping 3 F bombs and getting ejected. YOU GET 3 STRIKES IN THIS GAME!

Not the first call like that today though. Umpire has been inconsistent, and not in our favor. Have to have thicker skin there. Kids’ season is on the line.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Then it shouldn't be.

Gotta control yourself. I like Drew, love his passion and emotion, but doing what he did is childish.

[gnm53108]

There we go. Big K right there.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I’ve jinxed this team all night but Joyce is dealing!!
GBO!!

 

[volmoon]

The Gilbert pitch was not a strike. In fact the catcher backhanded the catch. It was low and inside. It wasn’t the first inside ball called strike in the game.

Nope. Balls and strikes are the golden rule in baseball. Cant argue those.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Absolutely not true.

 

[imw8n4u]

Finally got one.

 

[volsagain]

This is the first time all season that I’ve seen this squad get mentally rattled. The last 2 at bats were proof.
GBO!!

This game will teach many lessons to many players and coaches. Not a good look. I was afraid we were feeling a little more pressure in each game.

 

[ChattownVFL]

ND has 12 hits lol

 

[volman128]

Agreed.

Dumbest post of the year

Soft a$$ west coast ump

It was a terrible call. But drew crossed the line
