[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 3156761, member: 785"] If "any effect" is immediate justice and gratification, then "working behind the scenes" may disappoint. Did anyone expect the league office (or anyone) to reverse the calls from from the executive suite after the game was done, or waive the rules applied to the call? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that's expecting too much for a variety of reasons. If "working behind the scenes" means quietly bringing this officiating crew's bad judgment to the attention of people that make decisions about officiating in the conference and in high-level baseball in general, either college or pro, an appropriate resolution may be coming long after this season (and this news cycle) is done-- if the front office thinks this screw up is as egregious as we do. In any event, an appropriate resolution (if it comes) may be served cold, so to speak. As far as I know the guys on this officiating crew don't have a union or other organization to shield them from NOT getting that call from pro baseball that I infer they would like to get, whether the conference or college baseball writ large can discipline them publicly and directly or not. We've lived with some weak officials in the B12 since we've been in the league, but I would hope that the weak officials tend to get fewer of the plumb gigs than the more respected ones do. Maybe wishful thinking but one can hope. [/QUOTE]
