Is the backup ump even in the stadium?

He had to Uber from the local bar

He was in the can.

It's called adversity. All part of the game. Let's hope we adjust better than they do

It’s called uncalled for adversity. This is the kind of BS you don’t train for.

 

[utvolpj]

If that is the case, it makes sense to replace him but why does it take 23 minutes.

Lots of gear to put on?

 

[vol94]

I’m not @ the game so hate to speculate. Is the ump okay? It’s horribly hot today, plus the equipment.

This is the penultimate event in college baseball. Why isn't there a backup ready to go??

Really??? Exactly how many times have you EVER seen this happen?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Wilkerson says players have come off the field.

 

[Switch 625]

Was the alternate ump drunk in a bar somewhere?

 

[Gandalf]

Are they waiting for Beam to fall down and break his arm or something? Need to go to Texas to pick up the umpire? This is ridiculous!

 

[Drewbydoo]

US Olympic trials on NBC while you wait though?

 

[jdogvol]

I do not like this weirdness.

 

[Vtonerider]

Introducing your new home plate umpire.

View attachment 649643

If the bat breaks contact with the shoulder, it's a strike.

 

[theroyz71]

Early reporting is umps concussed

Hope he's OK.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Was the alternate ump drunk in a bar somewhere?

He may be drunk, but he's supposedly moving from 2nd.

 

[Zues1]

Pretty rare to have this happen.
Or course it happens in our game.

 

[Orange931]

Was the alternate ump drunk in a bar somewhere?

Probably. Had too many of UT’s Jell-O shots

 

[Jxn Vol]

Was the alternate ump drunk in a bar somewhere?

He was drunk in a bar but got thrown into public.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Was the alternate ump drunk in a bar somewhere?

Yep, that's what it was. You got them.

Being at Bat is better than the new pitcher warming up then sitting then will warn up again. Now to me I am wondering if Tony is thinking about New Pitcher as well long time for Drew to Cool down because lightly throwing in Pen not the same.

Plus he took one off the mask last inning

 

[jcvols24]

I hesitate to say this....but imagine us losing to a comeback with a few questionable calls mixed in after this.

 

[ENGRVOL]

US Olympic trials on NBC while you wait though?

Could watch the 10k in track and field and not miss a thing

 

[VolPack22]

2B ump is moving to home plate and new ump is taking over 2B.

 

[tn4elvis]

What the hell. I have pumped and it don’t take that freaking long to put on the damn gear
