Hey @NCAA I did some checking to make sure this is real. It is. Straight from Raaphorst's own Facebook page. This is a wildly blatant conflict of interest and it took me all of 5 minutes to find it. Its the national championship. How the hell do you let this guy call the game? How do you not perform even the most basic of background checks? You can conduct massive investigations and ban players for match fixing, point shaving, and gambling on their own team, but you couldnt be bothered to make sure one of your umpires for the national championship dodnt have a preconceived bias? This would be like letting Alex Rodriguez be the homelate ump in 2004 in the ALCS against the Red Sox. Inexcusable and pathetic.
Go ahead. Pull my credentials. I dont give a damn.
Congrats to #Oklahoma, the #SEC and @espn. You really put the fix in tonight. Should be mighty proud of the home plate umpire that you paid. He earned his money. #UNC
The ump in Omaha is trying to wrap this up quick and head home.
I’m just rooting for a good game, but from screwing over Glauber’s warmup and this “strike 3” on a full count, it’s been a bad couple innings here.
🚨Hey @NCAA: you've GOT to fix home/away designation rules for postseason🚨
@DiamondHeels will be AWAY Wednesday vs
@WVUBaseball AND (if necessary) again Thursday
The No 5 National Seed SHOULD NOT be road team vs a lower-ranked team in a winner-take-all #CollegeWorldSeries game
