Michigan's Jimmy Obertop ejected for...swiping dirt with bat? (Video)

Michigan Wolverines freshman designated hitter Jimmy Obertop was ejected in an egregious case of an overreaction by an umpire during Friday night's MLB4 Collegiate Baseball Tournament game against Vanderbilt.

It happened in the top of the ninth inning with one out and Michigan holding a 4-3 lead. After taking a called strike two, Obertop put the tip of his bat down on the ground and swiped it back before stepping away from home plate to get ready for the next pitch. Apparently the home plate umpire misinterpreted the dirt swipe and felt Obertop was showing him up, and the umpire immediately ejected him.

this kid really got tossed in the 9th inning for ...uh, swiping the dirt with his bat after a called strike? pic.twitter.com/n1wRlPp2zt

Naturally, Obertop was stunned. Michigan manager Erik Bakich rightfully argued in defense of his player, but to no avail.

That's absolutely ridiculous for the home plate umpire to have such a quick trigger, especially given the game situation. Hopefully the NCAA reviews this and suspends the umpire accordingly. No excuse for this garbage.

Michigan held on for the 4-3 victory in a small measure of revenge from last year's College World Series final. Michigan plays Cal Poly on Saturday for the MLB4 tournament championship. Hopefully Obertop gets a chance to finish his at-bat next time.

Blues-Ducks game stopped, postponed after Jay Bouwmeester collapses on bench

Tuesday night's game between the Anaheim Ducks and visiting St. Louis Blues was halted after Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester had a "cardiac episode" and collapsed on the bench during the first period.

It happened during a timeout with 7:50 remaining in the first. Bouwmeester slumped forward and fell to his knees, and his Blues teammates immediately called for the medics.

Medical staffers were on scene within seconds, and a stretcher was brought out for Bouwmeester, who was brought to a hospital. Players on both teams huddled around the Blues bench and were clearly concerned for his well-being.

According to Fox News, a defibrillator was used on Bouwmeester, but he was conscious and alert.

The game did not resume and was postponed at a later date.

Darnell Nurse penalized for tossing stick to own goalie

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse was penalized for tossing his stick to his own goaltender during Thursday night's game against San Jose.

Nurse had the best intentions in mind, as he was trying to help out Oilers goalie Mikko Koskinen, who had lost his stick. Nurse was at the blue line waiting for the opportunity to end his shift when there was a turnover in the neutral zone. Rather than leave Koskinen fending for himself without a stick, Nurse slid his stick to Koskinen. Unfortunately, NHL rules do not allow for any throwing of sticks, so Nurse was sent to the penalty box for two minutes.

If Nurse had skated over to Koskinen and handed him the stick, that would have been allowed.

Nurse finished with two assists on the night, but the Sharks beat the Oilers 6-3.

Gritty cleared of assault charges, inspiring late-night jokes (Video)

Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty was cleared of assault charges by the Philadelphia police, inspiring more jokes on the late night talk show circuit.

Stephen Colbert referenced the story during his "Meanwhile..." segment on Wednesday night. The punchline: "This is truly historic. It is the first Philadelphia sports fan to be acquitted of assault."



Conan O'Brien dedicated a whole segment to the story on Tuesday night's episode of Conan. In the segment, a fake "Gritty" was relieved to be cleared of the charges, but then proceeded to beat up a stage manager and a teenage boy, raising the question of whether he had truly learned his lesson.

SEC Network displays Bruce Pearl's face with Frank Martin's coaching resume

The SEC Network goofed up a graphic on South Carolina men's basketball coach Frank Martin during the opening minutes of Wednesday night's game against Ole Miss.

A graphic was displayed with Martin's Division I coaching resume, with highlights including his .555 winning percentage as South Carolina's head coach (in his 8th season) and a 2017 Final Four appearance. However, the graphic was displayed with the face of Auburn coach Bruce Pearl.

Frank Martin? pic.twitter.com/dSGcUIpjZq

Fortunately, Martin was being shown live on camera next to the graphic, so a fair amount of people may not have noticed it at all. Still, you would think people would double check these things before they get aired. It makes for awkward television.

Austin Rivers grabs rebound, preventing teammate James Harden from triple-double

Houston Rockets point guard Austin Rivers found himself apologizing to superstar teammate James Harden for preventing him from earning a triple-double in Tuesday night's 125-110 win over Charlotte.

With under 30 seconds left in the game, Harden had 40 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds. With only one more rebound needed to complete the triple-double, he seemed to have the perfect opportunity as Hornets forward Miles Bridges shot a 3-pointer that bounced off the rim. However, Rivers didn't get the memo, as he instinctively grabbed the rebound before Harden could get to the ball.

Rivers realized his mistake a few seconds later and apologized to Harden from across the court. Unfortunately, with the final seconds winding down, there was going to be no way for Rivers to make it up to him.

Harden played it off like it was no big deal, but he didn't look happy.
