In Reply to: I haven't really watched college baseball. A question... posted by mh on May 24, 2026 at 23:15:00
from the games I've watched, the umps are much more relaxed and work with the coaches and players a lot more during games.
Lots of good comments on the specifics of the appeals and non-appeals in this particular game below (I concur with B2BB's comments in this one: broadcast crew either incorrect in saying UO appealed the thing at 3rd base or umps screwed it up by giving them a third review or they just decided the play required a review anyway there but what baseball loves is a controversy anyway.
In general I've seen a whole lot more interaction in calling the college game myself.
Specifically, though, that game was on the extreme end of the umps making rulings to take things over no doubt - as noted below - think it was SuperBruinMan - stemming from all the crap that UO caused in the series with the Bruins late in the regular season
