Damn. I was just thinking about this the other day.
-
That's disgusting.

First of all...Potato-head? But secondly, I realize that because something happened to jeter it's not going to change the game forever - or how the umpires call it. It really should, however, at least cause someone (selig?) to say "Hey, the rule is that you have to tag them. So, uh, keep that in mind." Anything that implies that an umpire should, you know, follow the rules as they're written would be a good thing.

You are a good man :-))

This is true. And like vance was saying - i personally dont really blame him for making the wrong call as it was a very close play. But if he really did say "The ball beat you, so you're out" then he need to be reprimanded - or at least re-read the rule book. It just seems like if this excuse were given to most of the other players in the league it wouldn't get the attention it is. It might get a mention but there's a difference between an ump provoking an altercation (such as in Bradley's case) and an ump making a bad call based on flawed logic. Or so it would seem.

Yeah I really don't think Braun dislikes Milwaukee. That said, he is still an enormous tool. He's climbing to AJ Pierzinski levels of douchbaggary fairly quickly. Now all he needs to do is assault his trainer or die his hair bright peroxide white/blond and he'll be there.

Yay cubs. Don't suck please. -
the glove barely missed jeter's hand, it's not an awful call. it's only an awful call if you're sitting at home on the computer watching the replay in slow motion 10 times. The call is not awful, just the explanation of it from the ump. My problem is if he said that, then it probably really is how he called it. It was a split second reaction, I am guessing he the ump told the truth to Jeter and didn't say that just to piss him off. Anyways I am glad it happened to Jeter as it should be looked at and umps need to be held to a higher level of scrutiny. I am tired of the pissy ump who does no wrong and is above everyone else. Exactly. I'm thrilled this finally happened to jeter because now it will get the attention it deserves when this happens to every other player.

Well clearly and I'm pretty sure I implied that pretty heavily in my post. What I'm saying, though, is that because it was jeter. Do you guys think that the ump will actually be reprimanded for this as he should be?
-
I dont know if any of you have seen this on ESPN yet but today there was a call at third base involving Derek Jeter where he was sliding into the base and was called out despite being safe. He flipped out, as did Girardi. Joe was eventually ejected. Sounds pretty straight forward, but the reason it's news is that the umpire apparently told Jeter "The ball beat you, so he didn't have to tag you." as the reason he was out. John Kruk just went on a hilarious tirade on baseball tonight about it. But since this call happened against baseballs poster boy do you think there is actually any chance of some kind of action against the ump?
-
YYEAA!
-
Where has that call been all night?
-
Of course.
-
Thank freaking jesus.
-
Damnit. I thought that would stay fair
-
This is the at bat that never enddsss...
-
For the love of god Thank god for swinging at ball 4
-
lol
-
yes please. I'd LOVE that. Olney reported not too long ago that the Braves were thinking about moving Vazquez and/or Escobar for a bat. Considering they're strapped for payroll, I'm thinking that means they'd be looking for cheap young hitting. Soto and Theriot are the only two names that make sense to me, but I don't think the Braves would do that deal unless the Cubs threw in some prospects. why would the braves want Soto, though? They have McCann.
-
I think soto just told the ump to start calling that for our pitchers. Or that's kinda what it looked like.
-
took em 8 innings to get it in tonight. And to their credit they didn't say the name bartman. Or show a clip.
-
and there it is. Game 6 reference . YAY double play.
-
yes please. I'd LOVE that.
-
A little up, IMO Even that ridiculous K zone that has to be the smallest zone in the world called it a strike.
-
Damnit
