Schnelling should not have come out of the dugout to keep arguing balls and strikes after he was warned. Dems da rules. He had to know. So he has to sit the first two games next year. The assistant has to sit the first three, says ESPN here.
Why can an umpire shove a coach? And the flop. lol
How long do the umpires sit?Schnelling should not have come out of the dugout to keep arguing balls and strikes after he was warned. Dems da rules. He had to know. So he has to sit the first two games next year. The assistant has to sit the first three, says ESPN here.
That was a flop. He literally tried to sell that as though he were pushed. Added a little theatrical flip at the end.That umpire who tripped signaled 2 for the 2-game suspension. Umpires shouldn't be allowed to unilaterally administer that type of judgment. Absolute clown show.
Probably right. He should have known and read that this Angel Campos umpire is a joke of an umpire that was fired by MLB for having rabbit ears and a terrible strike zone.Schnelling should not have come out of the dugout to keep arguing balls and strikes after he was warned.

That’s what Schnall was counting on.You've got to have some situational awareness and grace. It's the first inning.
so no coach has ever been ejected from a CWS finals game before - I researched it back 50 years. You honestly think no coach argued balls and strikes out of the dugout in the CWS finals EVER until yesterday?Schnelling should not have come out of the dugout to keep arguing balls and strikes after he was warned.

I went back and looked and he was actually pushed by the other umpire...I bet the 2 game gets quietly overturned in the offseasonThat was a flop. He literally tried to sell that as though he were pushed. Added a little theatrical flip at the end.
I'm saying he should not have kept arguing, coming out onto the field AFTER HE HAD BEEN WARNED. Yes, it stinks that he got tossed. But ... rules.so no coach has ever been ejected from a CWS finals game before - I researched it back 50 years.

Rules? the LSU coach stands on the top of the stairs outside the dugout every pitch of every game - that is a rule violation.I'm saying he should not have kept arguing, coming out onto the field AFTER HE HAD BEEN WARNED. Yes, it stinks that he got tossed. But ... rules.
Yesterday, while driving back to Rancho Brewingfrog from beautiful Fort Worth, I briefly considered tuning into the game. I decided not to because I really didn't want to listen to CC get screwed out of it. And, as it turns out...
Mrs. Brewingfrog was talking about this last evening, and snarling that "If the SEC is that good, why do they have to have somebody fixing the games for them?" Good question. I find that my waning interest in sports is due to a number of factors, and crooked officiating is one of the larger ones. I quit the NBA years ago because of this, and the NFL shortly followed. MLB has now joined the "Eh. So what..." grouping.* Now they're coming for College Sports, and I feel whatever passion I had for that slipping away. If you know from the start that Team X, from the Big Conference, is going to win no matter what, then why bother to tune in? It's those upsets, the Underdogs playing a beautiful and perfect game, those gifts of uncertainty and fortune that make watching sports enjoyable. Watching some clown in stripes flagging a Blue Blood down the field to kick a last-second FG is not enjoyable, and is in fact enraging. Yet, it happens more and more. Too much money is on the line for fortune or chance to have a seat at the table...
Eh. I'll put on the Carl Orff**, and turn up the volume.
*Joe West killed it. Personally. I was in the stands in Houston when he waddled about 10 feet from his position and called fan interference (from a position in which he could not see the play) on a Home Run for the 'Stros. It robbed them of 3 runs and pretty much killed all momentum and confidence they had. Crap call, and it ruined the chances of the Astros in that series. After that, my interest in MLB pretty much went out the window. Why bother?
**If you've ever wondered what in the world they're shouting...
Fortuna was one of the Gods of the Roman Pantheon, essentially the God of Luck. And, as we all know, she's a fickle [ hundin]...
Could have fooled me...Joe West was such an Astros Homer he didn't even try to hide it.

He looked like he wanted to carjack the HP ump. When he ended up on the first baseline w 2 other umps blocking him, he sealed his final tour of the 3rd base dugout.Schnall should not have come out of the dugout to keep arguing balls and strikes after he was warned.
