Essentially, he’s a failed pro umpire. Did minor leagues but got into college.
He was behind the plate last year in our game against Texas in the CWS. I believe it was the 3rd base ump who threw out Ross Kivett, and there had been a prior history with that umpire and Kivett going back to his Big 12 days. So, my guess is his opinion of us started there. He was awful behind the plate on Friday, and I’m sure he heard from our staff about it. He was looking for a fight, and he got it. I would not be surprised if we never see him again do our games- the route of Al Matthews in football and Anthony Jordan in basketball.
