Slightly offtopic, but did you see the first base umpire drop the PU into some hot grease in the Stanford game? PU rings up the batter on a check swing while the first base umpire says he didnt swing! "Thanks partner, next time wait until you are asked..."
The first base umpire is the same guy who got the missed base appeal wrong in the Florida St. vs. Texas Super Regional.
Overall I think the quality of umpiring in Omaha has been great. The last few plate games have been a little rough but if thats as bad as it gets we will be doing great.
Good luck to all of those guys.
