Was I supposed to type something here?
He was barred from appearing due to his ejection.
I think he was also barred from the field post-game as well, and an assistant was trying to shoo him away during the handshakes and such.

The way I see it, there were 3 controversial calls (Louisville fans say 4, but for the life of me I can't remember what the 4th was)
Is Cooper not the 3rd string catcher?Yea...forgot we don't have a 3rd string guy...
The way I see it, there were 3 controversial calls (Louisville fans say 4, but for the life of me I can't remember what the 4th was):
-First stolen base at second. Close play, but I think the Umps got it right and he was safe.
-Play at the plate: Literal definition of a tie. Some replay angles showed him appearing to . It could have gone either way.
-Second stolen base at second which led to the ejection: Yeah, it was a bad call. Close, but he was probably out.
I can see the gripe that if the first two calls go the other way, Louisville wins the game (I mean not really since we don't know if our strategy would have changed, but I see the argument) because all of our runs came with 2 outs when that first stolen base would have been the third. But.....those weren't objectively bad calls. They were just close calls that went our way.
I'm growing tired of all the crying about the bad calls that went against Louisville. If their shortstop doesn't get cute and try a pirouette tag on Barzilli on the steal at 2nd, Barz is out and inning over. No 3 runs. So, before you go casting stones at umps how about throwing some at your SS for not making a basic fundamental play. My .02!

Exactly - we have 2 coaches that were pretty darn unhappy with him about that decision also regardless of the fact that we won.Infuriation is a strong word for that but the win is the outcome. Still okay to be pissed about the sheer stupidity of that decision that jeopardized that outcome IMO. My father called me immediately after the final out and the second sentence was about what an idiotic decision that was.

But at this time of year, a win is a win so learn and move on fortunately.
Embrace it!!I am in Franklin, TX this weekend for a tourney for Little (16). I am wearing my TCU hat and there are tons of Ags around me. We will be in CS tonight (hotel) and I am primed and ready for someone to say something about my Frogs!!
sigh.
Embrace it!!
What a great situation to be in
Thanks. It is hotter than blue blazes down here. Was actually a pretty drive from Waco through Marlin to Franklin. Two games today so I hope I can have a nice adult beverage in my hand when the Frogs take the field tonight.
