    So this business with the ump making two calls a play becomes a joke. No serious talk or inquiries to the ump as to why he did this? Amazin'

    They spent a few minutes going over the reverse call on Baseball Tonight last night. They showed it, said it was odd, showed it from a bunch of angles, wondered why the ump did what he did, and then moved on. No interest in talking to a manager,a player, maybe even the ump himself to clarify things. And they opened the show going over Showalters tossing and the bad call involved with that. Seemed like a perfect time to talk about both. I love how Buck turned around and tossed all the umps.

It's not that I don't agree with that assessment...but, when my kids were in fast pitch softball, I would occasionally get suckered into being the Homeplate umpire...it looks so freaking easy from where the parents sit; but it's a bitch to call balls/strikes (especially in f/p softball because the ball has so much movement and it's moving fast with the pitcher about 30 feet from homeplate)...we had this one kid's parent that would stand behind the backstop and tell the ump every "mistake" that he called when his daughter was at bat... I've umped. I know it can be a bitch. And there are assholes like that parent everywhere. That's amature ball. What I'm saying is that its the major leagues. The guys with that gig should be the cream of the crop. The best in the business. How do these guys who are just so bad get to this level?

I'd be throwing things around the room right now if that turned out to make a difference in the game, and it quite easily could have. If anyone learns any details, like in the post game show or press , please let me know what the hell happened there. The guy had to have some kind of reason to reverse that. A reason that can be seen or at least understood.

    Bobby P shuts the door on the big guy! Gj Parnell. Good game!

    The big Howard stands between us and a win.

    Torres with another nice inning pitched. I'm liking Torres. I'm liking Met things. This is good.

Rightly I don't think they should be working out his hitch on the MLB level. I think every coach who ever saw him would want to eliminate, or tone down, the hitch. He came up hitting very well initially. That made it harder to address changes when he stopped hitting well. Keith believed that a hitch is not a bad thing, and many HOF'rs had one. But the fact is Ikes hitch was way to big and loopy.

    The thing about Duda at first, he can make up for his bad hands by being so close to the base he gets another chance.

    Exciting baseball! Lagares doubles in the gap and Duda scores from first. Nice slide by Lucas. He just made it. oe: I was not paying attention while Hef was up. Lags was not thrown out stealing? I could hear the booth but not see the action. 4-3 Mets
  19. Zvon
    Damn, Lagares was playing super shallow on Ruiz. Good thing he goes back on the ball well. Nice catch, big out.
  20. Zvon
    Don't give the lead right back Hef.

    BIG 2 RBI single from Young. And Young goes 1st to 3rd on a soft single by Muffy. Hey, I'm seeing good baseball. GO WRIGHT!
  22. Zvon
    I won't use the ugly Recker at bat joke. eeek Wow, Lagares takes two! I like what I'm seeing from this guy.
  23. Zvon
    I won't use the ugly Recker throw joke. DOH

    Swan Swan H wrote: The ground rules at CBP state: OUTFIELD AREA Left Field: Over the fence and in plantings: Home Run. Looks like the right call. Ronnie also said it has to clear that meshy fence on top. They should paint the top bar of the meshy thing yellow. Is that thing there just to save the plants? Damn, A mix of a fast Rollins and a slow Duda equals end of inning. Wrights RBI single makes it 1-3.
  25. Zvon
    I thought the meshy fence part was over the fence. I still do.
