Same ump that ejected the Clemson kid in Tennessee a couple of years ago. Apparently was let go by mlb for temperament reasons.

You've got to have some situational awareness and grace. It's the first inning.

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.

I agree with Coach Schnall

How long do the umpires sit?

That was a flop. He literally tried to sell that as though he were pushed. Added a little theatrical flip at the end.

These umpires were not there for merit. Friday night's game had the first base umpire charging onto the infield grass where the P, 1B and 2nd were fielding a slow roller. He blocked the 2nd baseman and almost ran into him. It was showboating plain and simple, not good positioning.

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.
Umpires should not be the direct cause for a coach coming out of the dugout. This umpire wants the spotlight. Craves the attention. Guy is a psychopath

That’s what Schnall was counting on.

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?
Angel needs to be removed from umpiring period - at least anything above high school select.
He got fired from the MLB for the exact same thing - he was the worst performing HP ump for calling balls and strikes 3 years in a row, has extreme little man syndrome about it because he knows he is bad and pulls the trigger way to quick. He had also the highest rate of ejections during this career in MLB of any umpire in the union - his rate was around 3% of games he umped where the average is less than 1%.
The NCAA made a terrible decision allowing him to be on a big stage again - and what happened is why

I went back and looked and he was actually pushed by the other umpire...I bet the 2 game gets quietly overturned in the offseason

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.

Was I supposed to type something here?
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]...

Rules? the LSU coach stands on the top of the stairs outside the dugout every pitch of every game - that is a rule violation.
No coach in all of the CWS actually stayed inside the box designated for the 1st and 3rd and they all constantly leave it when a runner comes to 1st to talk, when they are running half way to the plate to signal a guy coming around 3rd - all rules violations that actually require not only removal of the coach but potentially calling the runner out.
A coach is not allowed to use a mound visit to address an issue with an umpire - yet EVERY coach does it basically EVERY game by waiting until the home plate ump arrives to break up the discussion so he can talk to the ump without it being a timeout....ever seen a coach even get warned about it? No because umps just walk up and say break it up, then walk away with their back turned without giving the coach the chance if they don't want to hear it - they don't thrown them
Players are NEVER allowed to question a pitch call even through an "inquiry" yet all catchers have discussions with the ump that go beyond "where was that pitch" and batters consistently make comments about location on called strikes - no one gets warned much less thrown.
Rules....context, place and time are relevant evidently

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.
