Strike Zone

Anyone else think that some of those outside strikes are a good bit off the plate?

it wouldve been fine if it was called like that all night, but it wasnt. ump was inconsistant. wasnt the reason we lost the game though, how about 0-8 with runners in scoring position.

You think they could find some better umps to work the world series. The strike zone has been all over the place for both teams.

from my perspective, umps tend to give guys the edges of the zone when they're on and hitting every spot. the ump isn't going to give you anything if he thinks you're just throwing it up there hoping to get a call.

That pitch being called is fine but he was very inconsistent with it. I don't think one LSU pitcher got that call all night yet he somehow managed to pull the trigger for Jungmann on more than a few occasions.
Like previously stated, that didn't cause us to lose last night but it surely didn't give our pitchers a fighting chance. When you're not getting that call you have to get the ball over the middle of the plate. It severely limits the way you set guys up.

Yes, I'll go ahead and be petty.
After reading some of the other fans posts about what a great pitching job Jungmen had...it could have ended up a lot differently had the Ump called a few of those "strikes" as what they really were. We were having to swing at everything, cuz almost everything was going to be a strike. The batters looked frustrated...and too many times were they looking back at the ump.
I can't agree with other posters who said we had the same strike zone. Maybe I'm too much of an LSU homer, but I felt that we couldn't catch a break. I saw many of the same outside and low balls called as strikes on the other side.
Enough with the petty shite. I try to never blame refs/umps for a loss.

The game was over after the 3rd pitch when the umpire squeezed Ross...Has anybody hear ever seen a squeeze that bad?

Not only the outside strike, but this one gave the low strike. Jungmann probably deserved some of the outside calls as he was on all night, but the umps are so inconsistent both ways.

Odd how no one complained about the umps the first 3 games in Omaha. It was the same umps. All of sudden we play one close game and then get our asses whipped in another and our fans start talking about the umps.
Stop with the excuses. You must have a liberal strike zone in college with aluminum bats. You also have an inconsistent strike zone from some because these guys aren't professionals.

It was called consistent both ways, the umpires were not the reason we lost. WE DIDN'T HIT THE BALL!

I college umps always have a larger than usual strike zone..

My impression is that the "strike zone" has been variable and unpredictable. Can really screw with the results of the contest.
