Ish.

[wsnydes]

The close up on those Sox jerseys make them look either quilted or in dire need of a lint roller.

[MMMordabito]

Umpire deserves a staph infection for those blown calls on Vaughn. This game should be 0-0.

[USAFChief]

Well we know who to blame for THAT abomination of an inning.

[mrtwinsfan]

[mrtwinsfan]

[MMMordabito]

[Mortimerkenny21]

Well, we fixed that! Way to go Santana!

[USAFChief]

I've always been a huge fan of the Carlos.Santana signing

 

[RpR]

I sure hope Santana gets DFA pretty soon.

[Hubie29]

Another night that proves we need robo umps, or we need to start grading these umps a little more stricter.  This guy is all over with his calls. 

[MMMordabito]

Thank you, Santana, for erasing that mess!

[RickOShea]

Santana slowly erasing the naysayers who were digging his grave and filing his DFA since season's start.

Still cant figure out why the Umps are so negative about it, to me it makes it even easier for the umps , It can and should be tried Quickly

[MMMordabito]

Thank you, Miranda, for cleaning up another umpire mess.

[mrtwinsfan]

Huge overinflated ego's

Any umps on the thread tonight? I have an umpire extraction question. 

No, not of the rectal cranial variety, but rather how to extract himself from a call. 

I went to a high school game tonight. Runner on third, nobody out. Coach calls for suicide squeeze. Pitch is very low and the batter misses the bunt attempt. Runner is hung out to dry so he just keeps coming and more or less gives himself up as he coasts to the plate. 

Ump calls the runner out on the tag, but the catcher drops the ball, so ump corrects it by signaling and saying, "Safe." Runner continues toward dugout. Defense yells that he missed the plate. They tag him and the ump now calls him out. 

So here's the question. After the original "out" call, what's the ump supposed to do. By calling him "Safe," the runner assumed he can leave the field, so he was hung out to dry when the defensive coach called for the catcher to make the tag.

Ideally, the ump would have not made the original "out" call, so he could have just remained silent if the runner missed the base*. That would have given the signal that the runner had neither touched the base nor been tagged. But he made the out call and then the safe call. After the first mistake, what could he have done to avoid the second? 

What say ye, TD friends? 

The call went against the team that won 13-2, so it didn't really have an effect on the game, but I'm still trying to figure it out. I do have one idea, but I'd like to hear from the experts here. 

 

*He didn't miss the base, by the way, but that's another issue. In reality, they were inexperienced and shaky all night, but as I told IT Jr., at least they were out there at a time when there's an umpire shortage.

Made him work that inning
