Skip had LSU backing out of box against UT

don’t remember the year but LSU was playing Texas in CWS. Texas had a stud pitcher. LSU pitchers were backing out of the box several times trying to get in pitcher’s head. I respect Skip but this happened

You can downvote me all day but it happened.

Not sure what the point is here. Obviously there are different philosophies on how to attack teams to get in their head in baseball since it’s such a mental game. Saying that rules change certain umps think they are God and you have to adhere so you don’t become the player called out with 2 men on in a tight game.

This is a super common baseball tactic.

That third base ump was just an unprofessional drama queen who needed to take a 105MPH liner to the vag.

so pitchers were batting?

It was the year 2000, and our first game of the CWS.

LSU won, 13-3.

The fact is jobert should have gotten back in the box when asked he did not.
The 3rd bas ump was a dick and called the 3rd strike and the followed it up by pulling the watch out on his net at bat. That is Bush league crap the up need to be reprimanded for the vindictive nature on the 2nd at bat

Not remembering the game you're talking about but am sure it happened. It's in the best interest of the batter to slow and disrupt the pace of a pitcher. Especially if that pitcher is aggressive around the plate and commands a fast cadence.

2000 CWS - Game 1

I was there.
