If @UmpScorecards was tracking this Tennessee LSU CWS there would be a federal investigation into the home plate umpire. This is is worse than little league and it’s not particularly close

Not only were calls at the plate angering fans, but the first base umpire stirred up some reactions, too.

TTT - LSU fans have complained whenever LSU players had this happen to them too, but I don't recall such a stink being made of it like this.

Just wait until about 30 seconds after tonight’s game if LSU loses, it’ll be the same shite on this board.

Fans is one thing. Rarely does media call out refs over social media or write articles about it.

Let them whine. Would not have mattered. LSU would have won anyway. The calls were going the same for both sides.

Was at the Florida game last night and Tennessee fans in front of us were still crying all night about it to the umps. I told them anyone can screen shot a pitch called a strike out the zone. I just wasn’t interested in doing it because that is was the losing team does.

They basically just posted some social media responses to create an article. I mean this is what passes for journalism these days.

Tennessee fans and LSU fans are more similar than people want to admit

Skenes was getting squeezed way more than Lindsey early in the game.

By the time Cooper came in, the zone widened to what Tenn pitchers were getting.

No room to talk on this site. Every umpire in every game that LSU plays is the worst umpire yet.

The umps were calling it terribly on both sides. They made Skenes work a lot harder than he should have. A ton of his balls were actually strikes.

Skenes reaction is priceless. He knew he got away with the one on Denton.

He did have a horrible strike zone.

But it was horrible both ways.
