I don't remembmer the second one, but Nishioka "apprently leaving the bag early" was the biggest joke ever.
So if Delgado finishes his career with 499 homers, (unlikely at his current pace, I know) does he stay out of the hall because of this?
No excuse, though, for overruling the base umpire who got the closest look at the thing.
One of the angles did make it look like it bounced off the top of the wall and then ricocheted off the foul poll. Jon kept mentioning this and Joe kept ignoring him.
That was like one of those annoying conversations you are forced to listen to when trapped on an elevator or subway car. Anyone with any sense would have said "must be the funny camera angle" instead of assuming they had discovered a flaw in Yankee stadium that has eluded everyone else.
<Blank stare>
Anyway, after much hullbaloo and ejections the game went on and the Yankees lost, so naturally the very next day they had the screen extended all the way down.
Oh, bitter Yankee fan, how we (AKA the rest of baseball) feel your pain.
Personally, I don't buy this "What's done is done, let's move on," crap. What Davidson should be saying is "It happened. I'm going to think about why it happened and make efforts so that it doesn't happen again."
And before anyone mentions it, baseball does not need football-style instant replay.
...
It needs the same instant replay system as in sumo wrestling...
I wouldn't be opposed to a replay on foul pole HRs. It seems it will either be a foul ball or a HR. Either way, there is no continuation of the play.
Of course, if they built more sane walls and poles, this problem would mostly go away (not that it is a huge problem).
Heh, OK, not everything, but perhaps the foul pole and the foul line that is painted on the OF fence will be more congruent.
Since they claim to be matching the dimensions exactly, does this mean they'll also be bringing the ###### up foul pole over?
With the gap between the wall and the foul pole, from his angle it probably looked considerably foul to the point that even if he were smart enough to account for his bad angle, he might still think it wasn't close.
The 3B ump was the biggest culprit. He should have had the best angle, and yet from his mannerisms during the huddle he was clearly just begging for someone else to tell him the call. Maybe if he had an opinion of his own it would have kept the other umpires from so merrily chiming in with their incorrect calls. As soon as Davidson walked up to the rest and gave his decisive foul opinion, you could see the 3B ump sigh in relief over not having to make up his own mind.
I'm adding those runs to his defensive numbers at the end of the season. So he'll only be...-22 or something.
yeah the umps ###### it
As spike said, don't forget the invisible balks he calls not infrequently..
I like that *someone* takes the balk rule seriously but I've seen several Balkin Bob calls where I had no idea what he was looking for.
They did eventually correct themselves, when they showed the camera angle from home plate, along the foul line, to the foul pole.
Well, it is a flaw in Yankee stadium that I can't say I was really aware of.
