This is the ump we needed.

Decent plate tonight.

If our C would have put his chest in front of some sliders in the dirt, it wouldn't have mattered.

He's calling strikes in the opposite batters box. High school umpires don't give strike zones this wide.

I think he's pretty horrible.

Decent plate tonight.

hard to get a feel for his strike zone because he's all over the place

Watching college umps frustrates me horribly. I guess bc I watch the braves daily and then watch these poor excuses of umps.

I'm serious about it bothering me too. I choose to listen to state games rather than watch them when I'm not there.

He's not getting that outside call anymore. Trent just went there twice and didn't get it.

It's the inconsistency with college umps that has always bugged me. If you're calling strikes on the outside corner early in the game, don't suddenly start calling them balls later. Pick a strike zone and stick with it.

To be fair, MLB umpires call games day in and day out, see pitches at least twice, if not 3 times a week in games, get to call pen sessions, and can refine their zone. College umpires see nowhere near the number of pitches pro umpires do. Calling balls and strikes consistently night in and night out when you only see pitches one (maybe two) nights a week is very very hard to do.
