The college strike zone has shrunk so much since just last year. Pitches that were routinely called strikes in the very recent past, are now routinely called balls. What an adjustment for pitchers to have to make.

I thought Holton had 4-5 strikes last inning that weren't called.

Maybe Noland and Diaz should go get some batting practice in by hitting James Franklin in the face.

Did that HBP not look to hit the knob of the bat? No review...

Umps screw us again. Was a perfect 2-2 pitch called a ball. 2-0 KY.

And of course we can’t close out the inning again. This is so frustrating.

Home plate ump sucks. I’m not sure we can score 2-3 runs.
His strike zone is all over the place. Really, really inconsistent. Yes, Geez, I think sucks would be the correct assessment.

Gotta pull Holton now, not later.

I was watching the SEC+ broadcast. Made it seem as though Holton was done for the day after 3rd inning.

He’s sitting right behind home plate.
CJF is there I saw him too. Right behind Corbin's statue, they should put one of CJF too.
