  1. I wouldn't say she would have been safe easily but it would have been a much closer play than it was. From a neutral perspective I'm fine with the call either way. From a former softball umpire perspective I probably make the same call that was made. Right, wrong or indifferent you just hate to see the game of that magnitude end on a call like that. Bottom line is the umpire did everything by the book, had great position to see the obstruction and made a quick decision based on all the information he had. One little nuance not picked up on by most observers is the 1st base umpire made the out call at the plate, the third base umpire made the call at second base and the home umpire was covering third. Without perfect execution of the 3 man rotation that is taught to umpires, the obstruction at third would have never been picked up. My guess is these three umpires are very experienced veterans and had all scenarios covered.
  2. I agree with the obstruction call but the umpire has a decision to make as to whether the obstruction was enough to have prevented the runner from being safe at home. If you watch the plate umpire when the obstruction occurred he raises his left arm parallel to the ground. This is a signal for delayed dead ball, once the play is over the ball is dead. The umpire called it almost immediately although by rule he couldn't kill the play until all play had stopped. The only question I have is if the obstruction was enough to prevent the runner from scoring without the obstruction happening. If that is the case then to run scores, if not the runner is put back at 3rd base. By rule the runner is protected from the liability to be put out between 3rd base and home. However that is a judgement call by the umpire.
  3. I agree. But how many times can you stand to get raw dogged.
  4. Its different because pro golfers are individuals that enter tournaments owned by the league or organization holding the tournament not a team owner as part of the league itself.
  5. Upside would be playing in a tour they built and have control of the business end. Where the tour can no longer fuck them hard core as just happened.
  6. All the current pga/liv players, former pga players and future players should now realize that they are all a circus act. They are the clowns, monkeys, elephants and side show freaks all rolled into one. Each and everyone has been scammed into this 3 ring show. Sure they were well fed and taken care of but they still had to perform for their peanuts. all players should bury the hatchet and band together. Then start a player owned tour. Try to get some former players like Jack or Tiger to join them. Hell ask jack to be the first commissioner. If all the players unite behind the plan it could work.
  7. So they score an error on the 1st baseman for dropping the pop foul but not the dropped foul by the catcher earlier
  8. What’s with fucking robot
  9. That ball was fucking crushed
  10. Maybe I’m a homer but if I were a young player and had the chance to play for the team that historically has been to Omaha more than any other team, I know where I’m going.
  11. Cut out some fucking commercials and the games will get shorter. my guess is the games will not get shorter because the networks will add more commercials. Not less time just less plays
  12. Aggy really hates Tennessee Orange
  13. Dogs don’t get much bigger than sheffler the worlds number one rated golfer
  14. Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa State, Arkansas, U Conn, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M
  15. I am in Daytona and will be attending my first NASCAR race today.
  16. Aggy should have LSU, Alabama and UGA as their permanent rivalries
  17. If the new privacy fence gets built make the builder agree to galvanize metal post with the pickets on your side.
  18. I grew up in Bryan and every year my dad would get tickets to any game Texas played at Olsen Field. Then every few years the SWC tournament would be there and we would get tickets for the entire tournament. I always wanted to play baseball for Texas but realized late in high school I wasn’t good enough to play at that level. I will always remember watching coach Gus slow walk from the dugout to the 3rd base coaches box hands in his back pockets with a big wad of chaw in his cheek. What a great memory that is for me. RIP coach Gus. Thanks for the childhood memories watching the greatest college baseball teams kick Aggy ass.
