Bucknor and Sheffield

Nobody said anything
Now I am not justifying this, but the opposing coach(es) didn't say anything. This is where I am saying pick and choose your situations. I went up to the mound swept it off and told him very quietly...

Agree with Allen
I agree with Allen on this one. That's all I'm saying. Hey getting beaned with a fastball is one thing, but a change, curve, or a slide piece is another.

ASU/Florida Game Call

Stop the Clock
Actually Jones the home plate umpire would stop his clock, get in the face of the coach for stalling and even asking their stupid question, and then restart the game.
