Some context here as well… Been told by multiple people that Phelps’s parents are sitting above the Liberty dugout. As soon as he turned that way at all the Liberty manager was on his way. Hit the field before Phelps had gotten to first.
On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.
Some of their losses:
Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV
They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.
Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.
College Baseball.
I don’t care what the situation is: an umpire’s responsibility is to defuse the situation NOT escalate it. This is piss poor from the HP ump to be talking to the players in this manner after a 50/50 judgement call
Here is the questionable HBP call in College Station that flipped the momentum in the game.
HP umpire had words for Lamar's Olivier after Sorrell and catcher had words.
This might be the first time in my lifetime I have heard of a program being scared to play someone whom they beat by literally 50 points the last time they met.
@On3@Joseph_Duarte Of course he’s eager to announce to the world that 100 days out from the regular season with a schedule that’s been set for 5 years, he’s all of sudden ready to play Texas when he knows it won’t happen.
Congrats on the PR win.
the case for CFP expansion is build on a foundation of bad faith either/or scenarios
how about nut up and play the game anyway? and if you argue you would BUT the Committee should rework their S.O.S interpretation because "you are what your record says you are" is still a prevelant CFB mind disease I'll even agree with you
