Did someone forget to tell the managers that the umpires on the field aren't the ones looking at the replays?
But the "neighborhood play" at second base can't be reviewed. This is dumb.
This was certainly an interesting one. I think people would have a difficult time criticizing the umpire regardless of how he called this one.
The league is going to start to come down hard on these guys that are getting run after the replay. Essentially, they are saying "screw you commissioners office."
Two words: Buyer's Regret.
This interpretation is already in talks about being changed..... It's one of the biggest mistakes in rule interpretation history and they know it. Egos will have to be left at the door.
Mistakes are being made and trust has been broken ... That's the issue .
This new rule interpretation is absolutely terrible on MLB's part. The catcher pulled the ball out of his glove with his bare hand, then the ball came loose after it was entirely in his bare hand when he was trying to throw. They just pulled this interpretation out of thin air with no rhyme or reason. This is an out every day.
Speaking of egos, I wonder if we'll see a scapegoat. Also, when LaRussa was talking with MLB network yesterday about the new transfer interpretation, he sure sounded cocksure with himself. I would have no problems seeing Tony LaRussa getting ejected for being on the wrong end of this sort of call if he were still managing.
You guys didn't count his ejection later in the game too?!?! ;) "Balkin Bob" had to get rid of a fan in Miller Park again last night..
For those who are curious here is the "Playing Rules Committee" Sandy Alderson, Chair Sam Bernabe Rod Carew Brian Gorman John McHale, Jr. Terry Ryan John SchuerholzBill Stoneman Joe Torre
Does anyone know the Replay CC in Chelsea this week?
I'm pretty sure I know why they did it: Because you can't see inside the glove with replay and they felt they needed some visible criteria to use for reviews. That doesn't excuse a new rule interpretation that is actually ignoring the rule itself or the fact that they bizarrely chose to make the so-called "neighborhood play" non-reviewable.
Wasn't this "ejection" the removal of a complete dumbo that shined a laser pointer right in a batter's eye?
Classic Bob Davidson smirk. Great still photo.
Rules committee has nothing to do with this. Voluntary release interpretation is the fielder has to get the ball in his hand. Video shows that the catcher did not do this.
Brian Gorman is one of the best MLB umpires.
Yes. I just think it's funny... I read last night that the last two times "Balkin Bob" has been behind the plate in Milwaukee for a Cardinals-Brewers game he has had a fan removed.
That green laser on Holiday's face is extremely dangerous! I'm glad they got it handled.
