Damnit Green

Come on Green.

Green again. How many runs has he cost us this year.

Peyton just has to sit. Or something.

He's all over the place

I feel bad for our pitchers. How can we be so bad defensively at seemingly every position?

All of this started with a absolute blunder in right field.

Is it wrong that I hope one of them pulls a lat swinging the hammer?

Easy to hit HR's when the only place our pitcher can get a strike call is when he throws one middle-middle

I agree, this zone is about three inches wide at times. I feel like this ump always is this way.

Avent said "If you get shelled on a Friday I will leave your ass in there."

How did a bunch of heckling kids get front row seats? It's ****ing annoying.

Did not go around. Home plate ump is an ego maniac. Like TV Teddy back there.

How the **** you gonna throw him out? That was ****ing awful.

I've honestly never seen anything like that in a college baseball game. There was nothing intentional about that. That was absolute horse *****

Must've watched the Nationals-Mets and thought about how he would handle anything close.

This is weird now lol.

Honestly, if I'm pitching, the next pitch goes in his ear hole. **** these umps.

Just walked in the door and turned it on as they were kicking Avent out. What happened?

Is this guy the baseball version of TV Teddy?

Adams was thrown out for a pitch high and in after a homer, with no warning, absolute horse ***** Elliott was tossed arguing the horse *****

There must be a fifty MPH wind out to left in this park, every pop up to left leaves the yard.

Just gotta flush this one and come back tomorrow. We can go yard in this park just like they are.

16 run game and this ump is still squeezing the zone. **** this guy.

Shout-out to the VT announcers for being real about that ejection being horse *****
