June 10, 201511 yr Never seen anything like that before. Kind of surprised she was allowed to stay in the game.
June 10, 201511 yr Author You can't even argue she was blocking the plate, there was no play at the plate.
June 10, 201511 yr What in the hell was the umpire looking at? She should have been thrown out for that.
June 10, 201511 yr 1) Plate umpire was looking directly at the play the first time and passed on it, not sure why. His responsibility is first to the play at the plate before he rotates down. 2) If we give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't sure what he saw the first time, then he definitely should have been looking the second time and done something. This is an immediate ejection for unsporting behavior. Judging by the field (looks like UT) I'm guessing this was at a minimum a tournament game, if not post-season. Getting two looks at it, hard to image why he passed on them.
June 10, 201511 yr I agree with some of the comments on the Youtube channel, that ump should never ump another game in his life. ridiculous!
June 10, 201511 yr Why are there so many people around home plate? One runner scored ahead of the one that got chucked, on deck batter and first base backing up throw, coach was way up the line as well.
June 10, 201511 yr ..... Not this Tuesday, but next. Look forward to catching up. Are you lost? :idunno:
