most

overrated

player

ever.

 

Pierre? You mean the guy who just drew a walk, but got ripped off?

[jaydee]

this ump is pretty bad

[radarluv1]

you should never look at a check swing in slow motion, cuz it always looks like a swing. but i was sure that was a walk.

thats awful, blue.

[Blueheart05]

wow, VERY questionable there. Why not at least appeal?

 

That happened at least one other time this series, right?

 

Yes, to DLee yesterday

[Chris]

blue=terrible

[sethuel1]

Get out there, Dusty!!!

 

he'd better still be arguing when they get back

[Derwood]

I actually had to come down to the computer just to congratulate the homeplate umpire on the worst strike three call in history. As Steve Stone said the other day, "How is it that the home plate umpire can track the path of the pitch AND see a check swing?"

[otis89]

OK. Which Cardinal player bribed the home plate umpire?

[Outshined_One]

Even on the replay it looked like he held.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Wow. That's a questionable call. The thirdbase umpire needs to make that call. And I loved how he chased Pierre. That was awful umpiring.

That's not even "questionable". He did not go.

 

I'm sure Joe Morgan will call it for the crap call it was....oh wait.

[jjgman21]

anyone who sees this game, then says the umpires don't make calls based on the color of the uniform is on crack.

[Jon]

So they don't even show a replay after the break despite it being a horribly, horribly blown call?

The replay showed it was nowhere close

[Chris]

Maybe blue didn't have any hot water either, ha ha

[LoneStarCubFan]

Terry Craft clearly has money on this game.

 

Either that or he is a galactic incompetent who has no business on a major league diamond.

 

Take your pick. It's one or the other.

 

There is no way a plate umpire can watch an outside pitch and the bat at the same time.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

He called him out b/c he looked so bad on it? WTF

[sethuel1]

I hate you Joe. Take a damn stand. You're such a piece of crap.

Did you spend all night thinking of that gem?

[Chris]

They called him out 'cause he looked so bad!?!?!?!?!

[da bears]

Good lord you're so freakin stupid Morgan. By the way, where the heck was that second pitch.

[Flames24Rulz]

He called him out b/c he looked so bad on it? WTF

 

yeah another stupid Morgan quote.

 

Rolen steals 2nd.

[stitchface]

there is no reason for the home plate umpire to ever make that call. terrible.

[CubinNY]

At least the crowd is upset.

 

"he looked bad that's why he got rung up."

 

What a genius.

[Coach C]

Joe and Jon, he did NOT GO!

 

Argh!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Joe Morgan agreeing with the umpire based on style points. :roll:
