[No Fun Shogun]

Uh... Shawn Kemp apparently in some shenanigans...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ja Morant is going to be so jealous

Shawn Kemp is one of the prime examples of someone who could have been legend with talent he had but ended up squandering and eventually throwing away career.

Nick Cannon was inspired by him.

The guys body broke down towards the end.

This Umpire should never call another game

What a disgraceful call

This Umpire should never call another game

What a disgraceful call

That’s terrible

 

[ChiHawks10]

This Umpire should never call another game

What a disgraceful call

I actually agree with you. He shouldn't ever call another game. At the very least, suspend him the rest of the season, though. Make it known that umpires can't just say/do what they please, outside of the rules of the game.

Angel Hernandez says it was a good call.

I umpired DI for 19 years. (1999 - 2017) that’s pretty bad and not the norm of course.
It says he made it personal. I’d like to know the circumstances. Why you ask? … I don’t see his manager or base coach out there either defending him or arguing for him.
There is a background here we don’t know about.

Background doesn't matter in the least.

 

[Space umpire]

Background doesn't matter in the least.

I’ve never been in a heated discussion with a player without a coach running in to defend them. From little league to the pros it is very unusual for them to hang the player out.

So while it doesn’t matter to you, something happened.

The clip is how long? You have no idea what happened. You have no idea how the coach reacted. This is a stupid f***ing take. That umpire should be permanently removed from his position. If you weren't happy with the player, kick him out. But your job is to call the game within the rules.

Unwritten rules is why baseball umpires are being replaced by machines.

 

[swerdnase]

It doesn't matter what happened. That call was egregious. Actually, I'm guessing we see "what happened". The ump made a bad call, the player didn't like it, the ump thought the player showed him up and rang him up on the next pitch.

 

[swerdnase]

The umpire has been suspended.

“After a thorough review of the New Orleans and Mississippi Valley State baseball contest on March 10, 2023, the Southland Conference confirmed the home plate umpire’s conduct and action were deemed detrimental to the Conference and in violation of Section 3 Character and Conduct of the CCA Mechanics Manual for Baseball. As a result, the umpire has been removed from the series and has been suspended indefinitely from Southland Conference baseball games. The conference will have no further comment.”

He's suspended because he got caught.

:28, you clearly see who I'm presuming is the manager in the green windbreaker going across toward where the ump left the screen

Nice. What should have happened, happened. He'll never ump college ball again. He'll be umping little league for the rest of his life. Too bad the MLB doesn't have the same testicular fortitude.

Illini open up the tourney versus Arkansas, and if we win we face off against Kansas.

Tough draw.

Not really. Better than they deserve. Kansas is almost always beatable.

Illini women playing in the First Four tonight

 

[Mrfenn92]

Another surgery for lonzo bull. Expected to miss most or all of next season. Unfortunate.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Time to blow it up.

The Bulls have a mediocre roster and an overrated coach.

Problem of course is the front office is as terrible as ever and clearly has no clue on how to evaluate talent (Especially at draft)

Also, the Bulls went all in on aging vets and the young talent is pretty much worthless or underwhelming.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Ah, so this version of the Illini showed up.

 

[SimpleJack]

It’s shocking to see Illinois get eliminated early in the tourney. That never happens….
