scenario Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Tied 3-3 bottom of the 9th. The Baron's manager, pitching coach, and two players were ejected during the game so far. That ought to be interesting to hear about when JPN comes back from the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: going to extra innings.

scenario Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Barons win 4-3. David Cook drives home the winning run in the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) WOW! What a game! The home plate umpire was absolutely horrible tonight. The Southern League should definitely review him. Now, to start out with Carlos Subero, the Barons manager was yelling at one of the umpires at the end of yesterday's game. So, that must have carried over to tonight. The game was going along fine, but the umpire wasn't calling strikes that should have been called. I'm not being biased here. First, the umpire turned and threw out J.R. Perdew, the pitching coach. Then Subero came out of the dugout and had a mini meltdown and got in the umpire's face. He gets tossed after pointing at and yelling at the other umpire. At this point, the crowd is worked up into a frenzy and is giving the umpire hell after every pitch. My voice is hoarse from all the yelling. Every little comment he hears from the dugout, he turns and starts yelling at the Barons players. He continues to not call strikes and Montgomery capitalizes and shrinks our lead. Derek Rodriguez is pulled and as he walks off starts yelling at the umpire. He charges at him and has to be restrained by batting coach/acting manager Wes Clements. Rodriguez is ejected even though he's already out of the game. In the 8th, David Cook steals second, but is called out because he came off the base. Of course, he wasn't tagged. So, the Barons dugout goes nuts. In the 9th, Javier Castillo starts yelling at the 2nd base umpire after another bad call at homeplate and is ejected. This was while the Barons were playing defense. So, on to the bottom of the 10th...Robbie Hudson leads off with a nice double over the left fielder's head. The ball just kept carrying. Ricardo Nanita comes up trying to bunt. On the third pitch, he gets hit on the elbow, although he sold it to the umpire and he gets 1st base. Victor "Captain Clutch" Mercedes, who loves hitting with two strikes or two outs or both, comes up trying to bunt. He runs the count full and hits a fly ball deep to right, the outfielder looks as if he's going to catch it so the runners hold up. The ball pops out of his glove so the runners only get one base. Bases loaded with David Cook up, there is a wild pitch, but Hudson doesn't take off. Cook hits a deep fly to right, Hudson tags up and scores the winning run. The team all piles on Hudson and celebrates, David Cook and Carlos Subero are doused with Gatorade. My friends and I chant "MVP" for Cook. He tosses his batting gloves to my friend Adam. Sorry this is so long, but a lot of this isn't in the box score. The end result was great, but it was a rough road to get there. THANKS FOR ALL THE MOJO, GUYS! P.S. To top it all off, it started raining a little bit in the 9th and the grounds crew was on standby by the tarp. Thankfully it let up.

All I know about Lucas Harrell is that he hasn't pitched since April, he's not with the team and is rehabbing in Arizona. He had shoulder surgery last year and missed the whole season.

JPN366 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 "I walked out there and (Ward) started cussing at me and I told him there's no need for that," Subero said. "If I get thrown out for telling an umpire to show more class, then I'll be okay with that every time." That's a quote from the paper by Carlos Subero.
