UNC/ASU and Robin Ventura's shenanigans
Is anyone else listening to this noise?
Robin, the ball hit the bat. It's foul. Robin, the pitcher isn't balking. That move is legal in NCAA. I think him and Tim McCarver had drinks together before the game. |
What happened with the balk? They're interviewing Pat Murphey right now about it and he seems to think it was a balk. What happened?
|
How about how they were saying early in the game that the umpire was giving up on the slow breaking ball too quick, and that it should have been called a strike, when I called it a ball because it was low, and so did the umpire. He didn't give up on anything! Then the very next pitch was a perfect curveball for a strike and that's when they compared the two very different pitches. These clowns are the best that ESPN can do?

It is cool having the umpires miked for the game. You can really hear the communication. I was especially a big fan of "Shut up, it's not a balk." :D

Did they switch color guys between games today? I only ask because Orel Hersheiser was the color guy with Karl Ravech for the Texas/Southern Miss game tonight. Just thought it was odd that they would switch them.

there are (or have been in the past) at least two broadcasting crews. It's just too exhausting to do a game at 2 and another at 7. |

To rehash this thread: I know in NCAA a RHP has to gain ground to first on a jump turn when attempting to pick a runner off. Is the same true in FED rules? If so, rule reference?
