This league does it the right way...

How did the Mexican League respond?
The two umpires in the video were suspended by the league for the rest of the season. The other two umps in that crew were warned by the league after not overruling the call.

My god. They hold their umps RESPONSIBLE for their performance? Such a thing is unheard of!

Doug Shows? Please tell me there's a Randy Shows who refs and that's who you're talking about.
If you actually pay attention to the games, Shows Hoak given us a pretty good whistle the last few years.
Now, that wasn’t the case earlier in Cals time here. Shows had a real hardon for him the first few years he was here, but something between them changed 3-4 years ago. I actually pay attention to what really takes place during games.

Kind of hard for a dead man to umpire a game.

I would like to see the catcher duck one. (I used to love playing baseball. I was good too, just not good enough. To those who do not know the intricacies of the game you are missing out. I never was one to watch much because I did get a chance to play at a high level but darn I do think about the "Good Ole days" when it comes to baseball.)

Shows is actually a good referee. It should have been Higgins and Pat Adams, but I get your point.
It's just a terrible coincidence, but the Wildcat games that I have seen him call ......... Doug Shows makes a lot of questionable calls against our team. I have not missed seeing a UK game in 92 years.

Stupid reply. You can take any ref you want and find terrible calls. It's a shame I even have to point that out.
BTW, Chapman is a complete idiot. I don't give a rats *** about anything he says.
Whoa dude, don’t get triggered when someone successfully counters your argument. Shows has been a thorn in Cal’s and UK’s side for a long time. And fwiw, Chapman is a bozo for what he’s done off the court but when it comes to what’s happening ON the court, the guy played 12 years in the NBA. He’s forgotten more basketball than your simple mind could ever possibly comprehend.
