DC vs NS plus 3 umpires

[NewellHartbaseball]

I've always said that even in a loss, you should never blame the umpires for a few bad calls......I stand corrected. Tonight in Brighton, Dyer County beat Northside 11 to 3 in the first game forcing a 2nd game for the championship. Bottom of the 8th score is tied at 5, DC has bases loaded, two outs and the batter hits the ball to left center scoring 2 runners and DC begins to celebrate after the 1st runner comes across home plate. The home plate umpire calls the batter out because he says he stepped out of the box and we have to go to a 9th inning. NS gets 2 runs....DC doesn't score; therefore DC takes 2nd and NS gets 1st. It is KNOWN first of all that all 3 umpires are from Jackson; second of all there are NO visible lines showing where the box is! How in the WORLD can this umpire call this? There is NO WAY he actually saw his foot step out of that box. Plus....isn't there such a thing as a swinging bunt? Is it not the same as in softball with a slap bunt? TALK ABOUT BEING BLINDSIDED!!!! I am currently working on the video and will paste the link soon!

HOW CAN HE EVEN TELL IF HE'S IN OR OUT OF THE BOX. I have multiple video of same position on both sides and that "out of the box" is NEVER called.

That is hard to believe.

ANOTHER BATTER THAT IS IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT.....BUT NO "OUT OF BOX" CALLED!!!! But there were no runs scored on that one.....go figure! I hope that umpire has a few SLEEPLESS nights over that TERRIBLE CALL!!!!!

HMMM INTERESTING. Any clarification on how he was out of the box yet? Only thing i can tell if he touched the plate in which he wasen't . Not all 3 umpires can be from the Jackson area. I have been told they are from West Tn like Memphis, Jackson, Dyer co , tipton county. Looks like this right now for Monday.

Bartlett vs Dyer Co. - If Bartlett beats Arlington tommorow for the Championship at 5 at Arlington

But Arlington has to beat Bartlett twice.

Ok so here it is 1:30 and I still can't get the image out of my head of the look on those young men's (DC players) faces after the call. The TSSAA should be ashamed that they allow this type of thing to happen. The call itself was ridiculous to start with, but in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs in the district championship game. No, I do not have a kid playing for Dyer County so I'm not a disgruntled parent trying to make excuses, but I promise you this, there will be alot more made of this than some want there to be and it will start tomorrow in the press if you know what I mean. This crew should never be allowed to call another game. I don't care if it's T-ball, to do this to a group of kids for whatever reason is bull....If I was Preston Ozment I would mail the runner-up plaque back to the TSSAA with a note saying no thanks.

Not for sure where these clowns came from but i can guarantee you the circus wouldnt even want them back if they are as bad there as they were on the field calling theirselves so called umps.This was one of the worst calls i have ever seen. D.C. had already played N.S. one whole complete 7 inning ballgame,winniing that one forcing them to play another for the championship,in the 8th inning D.C. had the game won,the winning run had already crossed the plate,the choctaws was already celebrating when the home plate umpire jumps out all of sudden hollering he stepped out of the batters box,batters out. In 2 games,15 innings,no batter box,and 2 ballteams and D.C. had the winning run cross the plate,the ump finally decides to call someone out for stepping out of a box that was not even there. Sounds like it was already decided who was meant to win that game whether there was a payoff, a free bus ride(SHORT BUS AT THAT) back to where they came from or what,that was wrong!TSSAA will surely hear about this from plenty of people.TBCA was there,had no kid playing,and argued the call and got escorted out,even he knew we got screwed.Anyone can take a lose,but not when it is clearly stripped from you.

I don't even know what to say since everything that comes to my mind isn't appropriate.

 

Choctaws, you won that game FAIR and SQUARE! Keep your heads up because you did EVERYTHING RIGHT!!!!

Now you know how we feel when we play you guys in basketball at your place!!! Rough call though.

Wow and with a Jackson player on the floor with 6 fouls and now this,, and video evidence for both. Your a brain....

That is Sad that some idiot would interfer with a game like that. I would like to see the video of these cowards leaving the game.
