2024 college baseball/softball thread

The last inning and a half of LSU-Stanford has featured three bonkers plays at the plate.

 

Now four.

 

There's the wheels falling off and there's a big rig rolling over after leaving the Firestone plant ... that's LSU softball.

 

This was the end of the SWAC championship game today. Jackson State had taken a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth when a guy stole home following a dropped third strike. Then Grambling walked it off on this play to clinch the league's automatic bid.

 

Rules are rules. God damn donkeys. Safety, Jesus, hope he’s ok. What should the runner do there?

You also defended the absurd interference call on the infield fly rule.

You must be a good time at parties.

 

Umpired for more than 30 years. People like you hate the rules when they are enforced correctly but love to yell at umpires and officials for every micro miss.

I won't ever defend egregious misses (Joyce-Gallaraga for example), but to expect perfection then cry when they get the rules right is so hypocritical fanboy bullshit.

 

Bullshit, just like the interference on the infield fly this is awful.

You're the cop that gives jaywalking ticket's.

 

My apologies for trying to explain and instead offending you.

In your world, all sports officials and cops should take a step back and determine how the snowflakes will interpret their calls and actions before making them.

Mistakes are obviously inexcusable. And correct actions you disagree with are obviously not correct or defendable.

 

Have a feel for the game, it’s not hard good officials can do that. Obviously you aren’t one of those.

You’d call holding on every play if you reffed football.

 

I did work football (high school level) and wasn't that guy.

You THINK you understand officiating from your recliner or keyboard, when in reality, you have no clue whatsoever.

 

Grand Canyon earned the WAC's bid due to winning the regular season. So no Cal Baptist.
