Yet when Snikeris overslid second, Norris decided to call him out. Rally killer. He could have easily ruled him safe.



Except he was out

But he was out, why doesn't anyone get that?

The team that methodically shut down SBU and manufactured a run easy as pie, was completely different than the team that came out to play game 2.

I hope the first version of LSU is the one that comes out tomorrow.

The field umpire has an obligation to inform the baserunner of the situation. Very easily could have thrown his hands up and yelled "no play, ball four" and prevented the situation from even occurring. I've seen it happen in high school, college, and mlb where the umpire has done that. Very poorly handled chain of events.

Yet another example of football people that know nothing about baseball. Probably one of the ones in the in game threads bitching that we dont score ten runs an inning. Yes, I do think our hitters have not developed very much over the course of the season. But the pitcher from SB pitched a hell of a game today, and we shouldn't take that away from them. My problem is that most of the hitters didnt really work the count, especially towards the end of the game when the pitch count was getting up.


This is not like football vs "rent-a-win state."

I think MOST PEOPLE are relying on the fact that his foot was on the base the entire time, including the brief time his hand was off.

Also, the ump never looked at his foot and was completely sold by the SB player that his hand was off base.
