[Felonious Junk]

Shlt with this UT baseball team. It’s unbelievable how trashy their culture has become.

That was confusing. Can the batter not ask for timeout during the at bat anymore?

 

[Xenomorph]

Damn shame they lost their season opener. **

Up and in fastball would solve that schitt.

Thinking back over baseball history, can you imagine what Bob Gibson would have done to that guy? Or Nolan Ryan?

Ump does not have to give the timeout. My guess is there is a reason the Ump didn’t want to give it.

That's a mf who gets hit if I was pitching.

Probably because he was acting like a jackass the whole time.

Yeah, I would imagine that was the reason too. I could also see TN continually calling for time as the pitcher enters his wind up and the ump having enough of it.

There is no doubt the TN coach can assemble some talent but he’s a bush league coach. I have a feeling people will grow tired of him fairly quickly. I could be wrong but I don’t see him being a long term fixture in college baseball.

He can request timeout. Umpire's discretion on whether or not he grants it.

 

[RocketDawg]

That's a technical foul.

Two things:

1. You should motion with your hand for a timeout first. He was already shouting by the time he did this.

2. They are trying to speed up games, and that's generally a good thing.

No surprise. After all, this is the same school that enjoys buttchugging.

 

[MStateU]

Ump should have called it a strike then chunked him when he argued. That’s how you get control of that loudmouth sk@nk program.

#2 answered my question. I knew the ump didn’t have to grant time, but they guy was shouting before the wind up started, and it was just a weird deal.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

That guy, or really the whole team, needs high & tight heat. Throw one too high to send a message. Cognitive dissonance after that? It's in your ear hole.

To the other poster's question, Gibson & Ryan would've drilled him. But, they are just the scariest to do so. Gregg Maddox would do the same.
