Its hard to say that umpires cheat for the home team, but the plate guys sometimes make me wonder. Its bad enough the strike zone is inconsistent but their theatrics on strike 3 calls is bush league and uncalled for. Some of these umpires are basically immature

Not sure if the home plate guy cheated but the zones were different for LSU and Tennessee especially with risp

I'll have to watch Sunday LSU game to see what caused Beth to get ejected. I'm got a couple texts on the drive back to Sugar Land... glad to see her fighting for the team. BTW, the umpires in the Big 12 are horrible too.


There were a couple of bad calls in the 6th inning that got her riled up, but her case of the red-arse started in the 2nd inning. We had 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and the first pitch to Bergeron was clearly high and inside, but was called a strike. At that point, the entire AB was FUBAR. The next pitch was called strike 2 over the outside corner and Macy swung and missed at down and away for strike 3.

She might have still struck out anyway, but that first bad call set the tone for the whole AB.

My understanding from friends in Knoxville is that the HP yesterday is a big Tennessee football fan

YESSSS!! He is 100% doing it for his own ego. Otherwise, he would not care to be wherever the camera is at. People are absolutely blind if they didn't see that. He is NOT GENUINE and there for support of the athletes. He got a little taste of some attention when his sister played and he has been chasing that getting since she graduated.
