Yes, it was the field ump that gave the "thumbs up" (ejection) motion as he was chasing after Patten. I just couldn't tell if he was getting a warning and telling the team of the warning or whether it was a true ejection. A parent, or staff with the team, will have to clarify that for us to be certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 If he DID get ejected, that would be a pretty quick trigger by the umpires. I am fairly certain that all he did was a generic yell and then stared down the batter. Unnecessary, yes. But not worthy of an ejection. Hoping it was just a warning and that he'll be available if we need him tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Patten celebrate but it didn's seem egregious - but the ump(s) were not happy about something. But agree it's definitley not ejection materiala...

theeagleman5 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Coming back from 0-8 down shows Dawg Mentality by ORU...compared to OSU who died like dogs losing 18-4. Embarrassing Pokes performance on national TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Was it the same first base ump who was running directly in the baseline and right into Jonah Cox during his HR trot? If so, not a good night for that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Such a special game to be at. The most fun I've ever had at a baseball game. Reminded me of the feeling we had at the ORU-Florida basketball game in Indianapolis a couple of years ago - little 'ol ORU coming in with a LOUD crowd and taking out the big boys. What a feeling! Hoping we have a good crowd tonight! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Not gonna lie, that 1st inning felt a lot like the 2011 regional final against DBU. That weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions. ORU lost the first game to TCU, stormed back through the loser's bracket, only to get down 8-0 after the 1st inning to DBU in a Monday night winner-take-all final and eventually lose 11-9. Can't believe tonight will be ORU's first regional final in 12 years, after having played in 7 the 10 years prior (2002-2011). Incredible win last night. Still got work to do, keep it rolling. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn't the home plate umpire who absolutely could not decide what his strike zone was? Even the ESPN+ commentators, including RL Turner HS great Keith Moreland, made a few comments. Did it look that bad in person? Based on what I heard from behind the first base dugout it seemed many of you in attendance would agree with me.

A lot of "make up calls" to make matters worse, too. The hitters were trying to find the strike zone in those first two innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Harley Gollert couldn’t buy a strike call on a breaking ball at the top or the bottom of my strike zone. He seemed to get more consistent in the middle innings but got shaky again towards the end of the game. Tough on pitchers and batters when Sybil is behind the plate.
