in my opinion. You identified the primary problem, which is a poorly written rule inconsistently applied. You also, at least in my opinion, identified the important tangential issues. First and foremost, is how Pete and Gillis can work to rectify the mechanics in the quickest and most effective manner. They also must deal with today's ump. After the ejections and words, regardless of whether one agrees with the calls, it is hard to believe the ump will be able to call future VT games without bias. Finally, the team has to lose the sour taste of today's ending and get refocused so today does not beat them more than once.
