Never knew if it would be a ball or strike until he made the call. Hoping for a little more consistency tonight. GO BEAVS!!!

Pitchers had to dial it in. But the ump seemed to settle down, even though there were still some head scratchers later. Just not as many walks or HRs. Still, screw Blue! That was a great example of why we need technology to call balls and strikes. |

Still need the ump there to call the half swings, balks, and so on. But balls and strikes? Leave it to the computers. |

Leave it to the computers. I don't necessarily disagree with you, but there are many who want to preserve the nuance and character of the game. Just trying to find a happy medium. Also, I think if most umps were subjected to a digital strike zone you would start to see more consistency across the board. Everyone wins. |

Last thing I want is technology to take over the plate……blue is part of the game….always has been and always will be as far as I am concerned. I’m okay with the coaches being to challenge close calls as they currently allow it but I definitely don’t want to progress where some friggin computer is calling the game |

That was a great example of why we need technology to call balls and strikes. Pitching staffs also 'settled down'. Though it's tough to sort out the cause and effect of Umping vs. Lack of Command, by both Starting Pitchers. Pfennings had quite a few pitches that were so far off target that neither the hitter nor the Ump had to give them a serious look. OSU staff: first 77 pitches = 4 BB / last 112 pitches = 1 BB
Auburn staff: first 47 pitches = 3 BB / last 137 pitches = 3 BB Last nights result was also a great example of why it's' important for D-1 middle infielders to to get their sh!t together. |

I think the ump caused the pitchers problems. Some guys on each team were practically yelling at him. Funny how a bad ump causes us to think we need computers to decide balls and strikes.
Most games take over three hours already . Some 4. We just need them to call the zone.
I umpired for 4 years in top softball leagues in Nw fast pitch. If a guy is missing the black I would walk out to mound dust it off and let pitcher know. Would stop the questioning of black. I liked quick games well called. Not that hard.
