Needs to be fired. Take the the first base ump as well. He got pissed when call at first was overturned and began staring at the dug put and more concerned about the goings on there than what was happening in the game.

I'll tell you a couple of umpire stories from my early days. I was watching a Little League game years ago in New Orleans. One of the players was trying to score on a hit to the outfield, but the ump called him out. The kid's dad quietly left the bleachers, walked around and grabbed a bat and clobbered the umpire with it. I don't recall more than that, but it wasn't good.

Another time, a kid was throwing the ball home from left field trying to throw out a runner. The ball skipped past the catcher and hit the ump right in the nuts. He held up one hand, holding his sack with the other one, while saying "Stop the game" as he went down.

Nowhere in the article does it state he was fired for being awful. It sounds more like he was fired for bringing up sexual harassment. To be fair, that’s all according to the law suit, but I’m just going off the article presented.

I was at the game, and yes, he wasn’t good. There were calls against Arkansas though as well. The crowd would groan like LSU was about to get a strike, but he would call ball. He was bad both ways.

Good luck getting rid of the DEI hire. Birmingham looks at it like a feature, not a bug(ger), though

I really don't care about this guy's sex life, nor should any mature, well adjusted adult.
He is a terrible ump and is not qualified for the job. He should be terminated for that reason and that reason alone.
The SEC can and should do better .

Imagine getting called out for flinching a strike call (he did it multiple times) and then getting so butt hurt about it your throw out the coach.

He started his strike out animation and his body shut down half way through

Dude it all makes total sense now… this is the ump that ran Tony ViteLLo a couple years ago and it was a quick hook just like he did with Jay. And in ViteLLo’s post game conference he was asked abt why he was run so quick and ViteLLo said something like, “well I told him it was a bad call and then he said something back and then it got personal real quick”… he didn’t go into details about what he meant by “it got personal”, but i guarantee this is what it was about…
