I don't need the ump to tell us he was wrong. I need him to go through his thought process and what made him be wrong in the first place. That was just as bad as the Nathan strike to Zobrist back in the day.
If somebody told me we would win in the bottom of the ninth, I'd actually like that more than winning in the top half because walk-offs are really fun.
They tried to. Unless they were completely unreasonable, you get a deal done. Sounds like the Reds owner didn't want to trade him. When the owner gets involved, can't do much about it.
