I'm not saying LSU lost because of a bad call or calls. I'm just curious on people's opinions of the overall quality of the umpires.

It was atrocious in the 7th inning. That is simply too big of a moment to make that ticky tack call to cost lsu a championship

Compared to LSU's playing, they were great.

Them and Florida did much less damage to us than we did to ourselves.

Lulz on many levels. But many of our fans are good for Lulz.

I thought for sure after game 1 vs. OSU the guy behind the plate tonight wouldn't be back there again. Agree it didn't affect the outcome but some of the calls this guy makes make no sense at all.

He's got to make the call because he didn't know if Florida would turn the double play.

They need to make some changes with expanding the replay and why not have a full crew of umps for the entire CWS instead of just the championship series.

I thought there were a lot of blown calls and some of those umps shouldn't be allowed to call little league games.

So if they don't turn the double play, would the runner at first have been called out and the run allowed to score? Or is no one allowed to advance?

I thought Poche was affected by not getting the calls low in the zone from the beginning. Can we blame the whole game on that? Meh. It surely didn't help though.

They were fair, I watched quite a few games other the LSU and the strike zones where the same for both teams. There were a couple of bad calls in there buts that's part of baseball. It's not like it was ever one-sided

umpiring was terrible...that included all the bad calls that benefited LSU. They need the same Instant replay process that the MLB uses.

It seemed really erratic the entire world series, not just with LSU but everyone else as well.

Wasn't ticky-tack, Slaughter didn't even touch the bag.

I wore third base bitch out.

Well, he probably didn't notice, but if he did, his feelings are hurt AF tonight.

The umpiring was terrible in every game in Omaha this year. Numerous missed calls, especially at second base and atrocious strike zones.

We need full replay and digital strike zone.

If the point is the get the right call, why not make use of technology?

It was the right call but Slaughter sliding on his right side on the outside of the bag made it look worse than it actually was. If he slides on his left side, but still to the outside, he was close enough to bear hug the bag and it wouldn't have been so obvious.
