Beat me to it.

I've been working on a song while I'm base umpiring. Think Rudolf the red nosed reindeer with 14u travel ball names.

Everyone has a Jaxson, nobody spells it the same.

First job out of college was as a sports reporter and a local volleyball team had Nicki Miller, Nikki Miller and Niki Miller. 

[TwinsCD]

That is a horrific horse---- call by a young umpire trying to make his mark.

[Vanimal46]

Why would Jeffers be out on that play?

[Aggies7]

Umpire had to be a hall monitor in school.

[CoastiePilot08]

wtf 

[stringer bell]

That might be the worst interpretation of  that rule that I’ve ever seen. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Speed kills

Jeffers fault.

 

[CoastiePilot08]

Stay hot Buxton 

[Aggies7]

I don’t think he was ever in fair territory after reaching the base. I know that isn’t the rule but cmon

I'm 34 and have several friends with kids. Almost all of them have a name ending with on or en. Some have gone with the vintage names like Evelyn, Edyth, Nolan, etc. 

They all work as reindeer names.

[CoastiePilot08]

****ing ump. Should be 2 on, no out.

If you make any move toward second you are in play. Ump called it very tight but Jeffers should know better. 

[CoastiePilot08]

So much for 2 on, no outs

Nah cmon. That’s like if there’s a wild throw at first on a ground ball and the runner turns his head quickly to find it near the dugout. No one on earth would call that except that guy. Ticky tack 

[TwinsCD]

Be nice if the veteran player would protect his teammate when he's trying to steal instead of giving the catcher a clear shot.

I'm missing context, clearly... It said on game play there was a play at home and Buxton was safe. That's why I'm confused how Jeffers could have possibly been called out. 

[Patzky]

Seems like it's a no brainer Jax Duran coming out. So we'll probably see Sands..

Bad calls against TC are becoming a theme of this game

[CoastiePilot08]

What a weird inning. Probably should be bases loaded no outs

The ump said Jeffers turned toward second when he overran 1B. The Tigers tagged him before he got back to 1B.

After reaching first he turned around quickly to find the ball that got away from the catcher at home. The umpire interpreted that as a move to second

He made a motion towards second and was too dumb to go stand on the base and was tagged out.

[cmoss84]

Fine if you're going to call it that close...then call runners 5 ft out of baseline interfering with 3B.

Ahhh. When Buck scored the ball rolled loose. Jeffers had already crossed first. When he saw the ball loose he made a small move towards second. The Tigers alertly saw it and they tagged out Jeffers. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Jeffers gets called out and in the SEA series, Raley runs into the infield grass and is safe. 
 

make it make sense
