This. in Omaha with nailbiter after nailbiter, a bad night by the home plate ump can more than sometimes tip the game in favor of the team who less often gets screwed by the ineptitude of the ump. Last night wake benefited more than lsu, so much so that they won a marred game

Either LSU doesn’t have a good lineup, or WF’s pitching was well above average.

Was a good game, think our pitchers after Skenes have the advantage but obviously we are probably the 2 best teams. See you Wednesday.

The pitching was good enough to win the game if the bats had even an adequate night.

There were two teams on the field. Our pitching was good, and their pitching was better. We had nine hitters out there; they didn’t all take a suck pill.

The UMP was crap and was crap to BOTH teams. Until the bottom of the 6th! He squeezed Floyd out to where nothing was a strike over and over loading the bases. Never let up against LSU after that. That’s why Floyd wasn’t pulled sooner because he was throwing strikes that were being called balls. Floyd was pitching an outstanding game with a low pitch count until the Ump intervened. Who knows if we would have won the game or not under different circumstances but that Ump had an agenda and absolutely altered the course of that game. Ump should be investigated immediately!

you can't really tell by this ball game because of the crappy ump. he was bad both ways but imo we would've chased the first pitcher out of the game fairly quickly. everything he threw was low and we would've been walking and then hitting when he was forced to throw strikes.

on the other hand, Floyd was pitching to a normal strike zone. no doubt he benefitted from bad calls as well, but not as many as the WF first pitcher because he had better control. it would have affected his box score had the game been called correctly, and WF would probably have had some more success, although he was still pretty sharp.

what really drove me nuts about the umping was the inconsistency. my wife who knows nothing about baseball could even see it. I remember one series when the same pitch was thrown to wake 3 times in a row. 2 strikes and one ball. it was crazy. but even my wife could see it.

If the UMP calls the game correctly, Floyd may have never settled in as well as he did. It was huge for us with Floyd on the mound getting that ridiculous strike zone to start the game. He was getting calls just as generous way off the plate

You really can't help yourself, huh?

The issue is the ump went from being consistently shitty for both teams to squeezing Floyd on good pitches in the 6th. Something he did not do for Wake Forest.

We got our runs on a mis played ball in left field.

They got their runs on 4 walks, a hit batter and a base hit hit..So what's your point? That makes them the better team last night? It's baseball - Poop happens. I say the teams were equal last night and the baseball gods made their decision and Wake won. Baseball is a weird game and that's why I hate/love it so much. (How close was that play at home? - Perhaps we were 6 inches from us being the better team last night.)
