re: Any comments from coastal fans about the ejections?

To add to the idiocy of Schnall getting tossed over balls and strikes, I jus remembered they would flash this infographic when hyping up the 26 game winning streak and all that.

So Bodine stole the most strikes in all of college baseball, and these tards got booted for arguing balls and strikes. Ironic

It was an awful ejection and escalated by the umpire instead of de-escalated.

I could not disagree more.

The Coast player steals 2nd. Nothing controversial about that. After that, the ump tells everyone the count is 0-1 because he called the pitch on which the base was stolen a strike. The 1B coach and HC start bitching about the strike call. Whether you like it or not, EVERYONE knows the rule that you can't argue ball/strikes.

But CC and their coach "aren't going to be disrespected." That's their ENTIRE mantra. So they kept arguing and the ump gave the HC a warning. Undeterred, he came out of the dugout, pissed, to confront the ump. The ump told him repeatedly to get back into the dugout. The HC wasn't going to take that though. He's a grown man. He wasn't going to be "shooed" by the ump. So he keeps arguing and gets tossed.

You're 10 pitches into the 1st inning. Your guy just stole a base. Even if you didn't like the strike call, it's not something to get overly worked up about. It was only strike one! Yet, CC wasn't going to be disrespected.

It's like the dumbasses that continue to argue with cops instead of just complying, even if you don't want to. You're not going to win that fight. Yet, they keep it up because they aren't going to be disrespected...ultimately ending up going to jail and making things much worse.

It doesn't matter that it was the 1st inning of the championship game. The HC refused to walk away from an otherwise inconsequential argument (bitching about strike one). Juxtapose that with Jay Johnson in game 1. It was the 7th inning of a tension-filled 1-0 game. LSU gets the leadoff man on via HBP. At that late stage of the game it felt like just one extra run would be huge. The HBP gets questionably overturned. Jay was pissed. But he didn't lose hit shite. He wasn't going to win the fight and he knew he didn't want to get tossed in that crucial moment.

CC screamed and yelled at everyone who dared suggest they may not belong with the powerhouses...then immediately proved they, in fact, didn't belong

I believe he was pushing so hard because he couldn’t imagine he would get run early in such a big game…
He deserved it

I’m sure. It was an awful ejection and escalated by the umpire instead of de-escalated.
Since when is it don’s job to de-escalate something? However, I will point out not only did he see it, but he heard him tell him to go back to the dugout and he still managed to ride up and come out. That’s when he got tossed. Go listen to Braswell‘s comments. He said they had been chirping from the dugout, but it really wasn’t all that bad.
It also was stated that Schnall said “you’ve been bad all year.” Sounds like it was brewing before the ejection

What if Coastal knew they couldn’t compete with us so they intentionally got thrown out so they could have something to gripe about haha.

You might be on to something, 10 pitches in, 10! Coach loses his cool, continues to mouth off after being warned multiple times, he was begging for an ejection.

The CC coach probably had bet on LSU to win.

The consensus opinions I have read from most people not associated with LSU are generally these:

1) The coach way over reacted and should have known better.

2) While the ump acted within the rules, he tossed the coach too fast in that spot in the World Series and should made a more emphatic warning that expulsion was imminent.

3) I have heard very few say it impacted the game that much. Most everyone thought LSU was the better team.

I agree pretty much with all three. I particularly did not care for the ejection is 1) I was worried it would motivate the Coastal players and 2) It would become an excuse for losing. 3) I was shocked when it happened, it seemed too quick to me in real time.

As it turned out, while Coastal did use it as an excuse, very few people bought the excuse. There will be no asterisk or footnote on this win in years to come, just another year to put on the intimidator. There has been a lot of debate on if the toss was too quick, but very little debate as to if the best team won.

Yup ! And how did that work out ?? I am amazed that CC college took up for him against the NCAA . I would have sent him packing for that performance on a national stage .

Eff CDawson brother. That idiot is just pissed off because another natty is now attributed to Woodward, who he hates with a passion.

FWIW, Hunt Palmer was on Banzai and JJ’s Sports Talk radio show today and he basically said he thought it was a terrible decision for Campos to throw him out. Said that’s why he’s not employed in MLB anymore and if he was over the umpires association he would not retain Campos.
