Among the many teams that Skip Bayless is a diehard fan of is his alma mater Vanderbilt. So he did the thing he usually does when something doesn’t got his team’s way: He shrieked about it on Twitter.
During yesterday’s NCAA Tournament game between the Commodores and Xavier Musketeers, a winning run was granted to the Musketeers after a batter was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs.

“My Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team got robbed on a phantom hit by pitch that cost them the winning run. The pitch CLEARLY DID NOT TOUCH THE BATTER. DID NOT CHANGE DIRECTION BEFORE HITTING THE CATCHER’S MITT. UMP OVERREACTED TO BATTER’S FLOP. JUST ABSURD,” Bayless tweeted.
It was a bad day for Skip Bayless and the Commodores, but a great day for people who love to see the Fox Sports analyst suffer:

“I did not have (Xavier baseball) getting Skip so mad that he tweets about them eliminating Vandy during a great NBA finals game on my bingo card but I am absolutely here for it,” one user replied.
“Skip down so bad he ain’t watching the finals lol,” wrote another.
“Love that Xavier ruined Skip’s night,” a third wrote.
Things might go from bad to worse for Bayless with Shannon Sharpe leaving Undisputed after the NBA Finals in a little over a week.
