Ole Miss up 1-0 in the top of the 2nd.

 

[Tractorman]

1st challenge by om catcher in 1st inning on called ball, confirmed ball. I bet Ace will be first dawg to use a challenge.

 

[The Peeper]

2-2 in Top of the 3rd

 

[Badon]

1st challenge by om catcher in 1st inning on called ball, confirmed ball. I bet Ace will be first dawg to use a challenge.

Or maybe Sully if Ace passes up his first chance.

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Those challenges take some thought actually if you've seen or watch MLB very much. You don't want to burn them all by the third inning and then have nothing in a high leverage situation at the end of the game

I would bet 10 out of 10 times on Ace's eyesight over any ump

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

There are at least a couple of dozen in attendance for the Ole Miss - Missouri game in the Bloody Mary time slot on Tuesday morning

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

So, we might get OM off the board today.

 

[HotMop]

I wouldn't expect much from us tomorrow either.

 

[17itdawg]

Grand Slam Mizzou. .265 hitter with 1 homer on the year going into that at bat.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

So far so good.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

7 to 2 Missou Top 5th

 

[GloryDawg]

This is not going to be a good tournament for pitchers this week. They umpires are calling it straight.

Wish I could have heard David Kellum calling that one.

Yep. College baseball pitchers been getting 6 inches on either side of the plate forever and now those can be challenged. In fairness to the UMiss catcher, I'm sure that pitch has been a strike all season.

[BulldogBlitz]

Hobby lobby

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Glad BOC didn’t bring his pitching coach with him. Missouri having no one up in the pen and the starter struggling tells me their pc formerly of Virginia is a dumbass!

 

[Badon]

RPI-wise, is it better for us to beat Ole Miss and lose to Georgia or beat Missouri and lose to Georgia? I guess losing to MIZZ would be the worst case scenario.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

The Tigers are falling weak!

 

[17itdawg]

7-6 Mizzou now. Bottom 5th, 2 outs. Looks like there's going to a lot of offense today.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

The Mizzou catcher should be the ump.

 

[17itdawg]

Mizzou gets out of it thanks to ABS. 7-6 Mizzou headed to the "sixt".

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Missouri catcher is embarrassing the home plate umpire! Catcher getting every call right. 5 missed calls by the home plate umpire!

Gonna be a long day in Hoover. 2 hours in and they're barely halfway through game 1. And there's 3 games after this.

 

[Tractorman]

Did I just hear announcer say Mizz catcher has won 5 straight challenges, dam if so this ump definitely on OM side.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

In fairness to the UMiss catcher, I'm sure that pitch has been a strike all season.

From the look on his face in the other thread, it looked like he was just thrilled to be able to challenge. Like he'd made his mind up ahead of time, "I'm challenging the first close one."

 

[17itdawg]

Gonna be a long day in Hoover. 2 hours in and they're barely halfway through game 1. And there's 3 games after this.

Just glad State plays the early game tomorrow. Looking forward to some late night baseball tonight though.

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Dude is wearing that ump out with ABS lol

This could be a very embarrassing week for SEC umpires.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

He is definitely making him look bad.

 

[onewoof]

He is definitely making him look bad.

6 out of 7. Game changing tbh

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

The abs factor also adds 2 inches in either direction up or down and side to side. Because the baseball is 2 and 3/4 inches in diameter.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

And the Rebs do what they do against lesser competition!

 

[HailStout]

So, we might get OM off the board today.

He is 7 for 8 correct so far.

 

[GloryDawg]

I kind of feel for the umpires. The next guy is going to overcompensate, and the batters will have a high win percentage on challenges. The catcher has the best view of all four involved.

 

[Xenomorph]

Game 2 scheduled for 1pm start. ….that ain’t happening.

This is true. The catcher has a better view than the umpire and will probably be correct on more challenges. They are set up directly behind the plate, while the umpire is set up over one of his shoulders and his view is not directly straight on, which could lead to missing calls on either the inside or outside edge.
