Not a clue. I figured it would be a pitching change.

Candrea's outcry over the IP's.

It's time for Candrea to get out of the game.

IMO, John Kurnat and the rest of the crew were not trying to take over AZ/TN game, and neither was the crew of FL/UCLA game. They were umpiring the game the way they were told to umpire the game by the NCAA WCWS staff and UIC.

Candrea should direct his comments at the NCAA, not the umpires. It was a cheap shot at Kurnat and the crew. Each time ESPN showed a shot of Candrea in Kurnat's ear and/or face about the IP's calls, Kurnat handled it in a calm professional manner. IMO Kurnat displayed integrity, level headneses, and guts.
I learned a lot just watching how Kurnat and the crew handled the whole. situation.

Same old ****! No argument over the rule, just whining because the COACHES' teams are being held to the standard THEY set.

Again, not one word over whether any of the calls were incorrect, but simply called. IOW, THE UMPIRES ARE DOING THEIR JOB!!!

Never knew Candrea to be a whiner. Guess I missed that part of his lacking character.

Well, yeah Mike, you are.

well from the article it appears that some umps in the pac 10 did not do there job during the regular season as the pitcher implies by her statement of never having been called for an ip. can not believe her as i find it hard to believe that ips were only called in the sec, big ten and acc.

so if any of you pac 10 guys know if she is fibbing. please let us know.

poor sport by that guy.
