Disagree. Those three umps were the common factor for both teams at the

same time this weekend. That's why it's not only easy to blame the umpires, it's reasonable to blame the umps. Both bullpens go haywire at the same time? Can't reasonably deny the ump factor.

Maybe they did but the umps gave those pitches a different outcome.

Agree. But 17 walks in 3 games is just not cutting it.
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:35 PM ET
Both teams walked 17 batters each during the series

The bigger issue was the pitching. It is easy to blame the umpires

I am not denying the ump factor

Emphasized the ump factor because it seems you denied it until now.**

Umps were tough but read Coach's comments that Chip posted last night.
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 08:33 PM ET
And it's impossible the umps were a factor? Both team's pitchers have

Sophie's drop is the perfect pitch. Looks like a strike but it's a ball.
