1. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: September 08, 2012 at 11:52 PM (#4230654)World's smallest violin currently playing for the Yankees right now. Soloist: Jeffrey Maier.
Totally irrational, I know. But the fact that this happened to him makes me even more happy, and I feel somewhat ashamed about that.
He exacerbated his calf injury on the play and couldn't run through the bag.
Girardi was annoyed because Sherman asked about CC's health, which he had already answered 3X in the last 4 minutes. Video of the press conference is below, and Sherman starts lecturing Girardi that it's part of the job. Obviously not a good response from Girardi, but Sherman is a troll...
YES post-game
But he is the sorta player who fakes being hit by pitches, etc.
And, no, I'm not a Yankees fan. If anything, I'd love to see the Orioles beat them.
I hate to defend Sherman, but it seems like he was simply late to the press conference. IIRC, he prefaced with, "You may have already answered my question."
And Teixeira looks like Joe DiMaggio.
Rachel Maddow does appear to be the same person as Mark Teixeira. Have they ever been seen in the same place together?
From BR PI Event Finder and today's boxscore:
Home runs allowed by NYY in 2012
Home runs allowed by BAL in 2012
So if you think you're gonna be out, you should slide?
i really do not understand selig's failure to act. he's meddled with everything else in the game. and yet the umpires have been allowed to sink into incompetence with nary a peep out of the commissioner's office.
Pagan (I think) was clearly out at first but called safe, then he tried to advance to 3rd on a bunt and was called out (when he looked safe) at 3B.
So it all evens out, problem solved.
and i sense that an umpiring boondoggle of kaiser like proportions will hit soon
it will be ugly. so very ugly
and it could have been prevented
Sherman had not heard the previous answer (late or in bad spot), so asked himself.
Girardi is wound tight these days, and probably damn nervous about Sabathia.
hijinks ensue.
papers all have different deadlines for various deadlines, so exactly when a game ends can determine who is early and who is late.....
Blanco. The missed call a first was horsebleep, the one at third was pretty close. The worst part was, I couldn't find the remote to turn off McCarver's blathering about it for, like, 10 minutes.
Remember when he deliberately ###### the Pirates on a call at home in that 19-inning game because he was tired and wanted to go to bed, and then everybody said, "No, he wouldn't do that, it's just a rare mistake by a good umpire!"
Yeah.
If the meltdown didn't happen after Maier, or after Denkinger, or Knoblauch's phantom tag, what makes the next umpire mistake the one that makes everyone go crazy?
The Yankees being harmed by it, instead of benefitting from it, will impact the view of some and of the NY media, for sure
Yeah, Meals is not a good umpire but it's just plain wrong to attack his character because of those two plays.
EDIT: It was pointed out in the AL playoff thread that Meals could have ended the game one play before Teixeira's fateful PA had he called out Swisher.
My bad. Thanks. Still, the larger point remains.
As for Jeffery Maier, MLB teams are scouting kids born in 1996. Sixteen ####### years. And you certainly can't blame him for over a decade of awful baseball in Baltimore.
When I watched the play in real time, I thought that somehow Tex had maybe vaulted over the bag, and was called out because his hands missed it and his legs weren't there et. That was the only explanation I could come up with for how he could possibly be out. That's how crappy the call was.
I agree. Seriously, you set someone upstairs up with a flippin' monitor and phone. If he wants to review the play he sends a message down to the field saying he's reviewing the play. If he can't come up with a decision after, say, 90 seconds, it's inconclusive and the ruling on the field stands. This would fix like 80% of problems and hardly ever introduce a noticeable delay (90 seconds is less time than it takes for the fatass manager to waddle out from the dugout to argue the play with the umpire.)
Right, because this was the first time in history that a bad call has gone against the Yankees.
A-triple-men to that, and that thought applies to the first eight innings as well.
If there is anything that can drive me away from this great game it would be some more game-changing and season-changing horrible calls. And I can't be the only guy who feels this way.
(Sherman is one of the better mainstream writers, FWIW. Not that I really read them much, but when I do I find that he's several cuts above a Dan Shaughnessy or Lupica type. He actually understands player analysis to a degree.)
