So, given the hype, i watched a replay of the 5,6,7 innings of this game last night.
What a great game!
Not to be mislead, I wanted to point out that this umpire called a slapper out of the box at least 2 previous times in this game,
before this crucial call to kiabash A&M's game winning hit in the bottom of the 7th.
We all know that there is plenty of variability in the game as a result of each individual umpire's "judgement".
From the bounds of the strike zone, to illegal pitch calls, and in this case, where the bounds of the box are.
Good teams adjust. A&M hitters did not, and it cost them.
