Strike zone for Coleman

The ump was all over the place. He had a very tight strike zone to left handed batters outside. He was a little more generous to their inside ala Ott.

I think Coleman got frustrated and felt he had to make perfect pitches and then just left them up over the plate.

I agree, but will not complain about it...they called Austin Wood's pitches low, but didn't give him the corners as much...Ott got the inside corners...just my observation

i think it was fine for Coleman but at the same time Ruffin was getting a foot off of each side fo the plate plus eyeball high curves called strikes.

I didn't think it was unfair. I just felt like the late movement was making it hard for Gibbs to frame up. We'll see how they call tonights game. I'm guessing tight.

There were many times where the same pitch crossed the plate and was called a ball once and a strike the next time. That's frustrating.

Ruffin seemed to get the benefit of the doubt a hell of a lot more than Coleman did, but overall I think the ump sucked for both LSU and Texas. It's hard to believe that they couldn't get better umps than some of the ones they have here. Hopefully, we have one of the few good ones tonight.


Speaking of which, is there anywhere to see what umps did what games, and which one is going tonight?

Coleman was not sharp enough to "earn" that pitch. Ruffin was right there all night, and was getting the calls.

Guess not then.

Holy shite you jackass! Email me at my spruce22 @ gmail.

I think the calls that the pitchers were getting had a lot to do with where the catcher was lining up. The Texas guy was lining up practically in the batters' box opposite the hitter, and his pitchers were getting the outside corner all night. We didn't start getting that pitch until Gibbs started lining up way out there, very late in the game.
