Not directed at you, but since this is the last post to mention it... I realize this is an OSU board, but every failure on an OSU squad is not the fault of an outside force. That is absolutely true, as a rule. In this particular instance, the umpiring and a direct and inordinate impact on the game, and complaining is justified. Kwan would have been on third base following a game-tying, two-run triple, with our best hitters coming up and LSU's starter on the ropes, had the umpire now blown what most umpires who reach that status would acknowledge was a simple call. The ball hit clearly on the foul line, even on the inside half of the foul line. One more hit or a SF and their starter trails 3-2 and could very well be out of the game. The guy who started on Saturday would have been burned on Friday, leaving no one left for Saturday. Street's strike zone was terrible, but the missed call on Friday was the biggest play (for OSU) of the entire CWS. Yes, but you can also blame Pat for not challenging the call |

I mean Luke not being in Omaha was even a bigger aspect... so let's all go down that path for the 100th time... |

His incompetence had an impact on the outcome of the game, period,end of story. No conspiracy theory or anything else. I would just love to know what the hell he was thinking when he made those strike calls and what he thinks of that performance in retrospect. |

Found this older 2011 footage of Greg Street ... on YouTube.
I guess we should have researched Mr Street before the game, and we would have known that he extends the outside part of the plate 6-12 inches, depending on his mood. |

How in the name of all that is holy does that clown show still have an umpire job? ?
You could strike a guy out just trying to intentionally walk him with that jackwagon behind the plate. Wow, just wow.....
Go Beavs!!

LO-freaking-L!!! That's so bad it's good. Took another look this week at that gofundme page to buy Greg Street some glasses. It's still up, although only $25 has been raised so far: www.gofundme.com/glasses-for-cws-umpireIt's a lot funnier now a year removed, and of course, clowning LSU so badly this weekend certainly helps.  |

I think your joking, but just in case your not I don't believe that is our Greg Street. This guy was white. |

Bush league. The umpiring was atrocious in that game, but he called it that way for both teams. They adjusted to his strike zone, we didn't. Life and or ball games are not always fair. To win, you have to take what is there and make it happen. Fire away. From my view.... he was NOT consistent. Balls we got called strikes, LSU never did. i don’t like picking on the plate ump. Everyone has a gripe. But out that game was so beyond the pale.... it just left me numb. Maybe be we would not have won anyway.... but there’s definitely a reason we all know his name. Just my opinion. |
