[Panther Thunder]

One more thing for now, I don't believe it would have effected it either way, but Pete Runyon should not call behind the plate anymore. Simple as that. He gets Smokey run from umpiring and then gives efforts like we saw this tournament. He may be a great guy, and I think he is a pretty good guy. But people pay to watch the game, not the umpire and he has that part confused.

I wish someone would be man enough like Smokey was to stand up for it.

Like I said, I personally don't believe anything was bad enough tonight to matter, but the inconsistency cannot and should no be tolerated.

I do not mean for this post to derail a thread about a great game, so please do not let it. But I do feel it needed to be said. Please keep the thread civil and as much about the game as possible. The baseball forum has been really good this year, no reason to ruin it now!

Congrats to both teams again on a well played game and tournament!
