MLB 2013 Season

[AntAltMike]

Last year, the Red Sox were overloaded with closer material with Bailey, Melancon and Bard, but had to turn to Aceves by game 3, and this year they are loaded with Bailey, Hanrahan and Mortenson yet may yet have to again turn to Aceves... or call Wakefield out of retirement.

Tazawa named the closer for now...

Why can't they play the Astros more often??

The Astros wish they could always play the Angels.

Reds win last night on back to back HR's with 2 outs in the 9th. Wow what a win.

Don't they play one another 19 times a year, being in the same division... or did that go out the window when they went Interleague all year ?

Gomes has just two RBI in 53 at bats this season. Now, he has six in 54 at bats. That's still pretty poor.

So much for the Allen Webster interlude...

Figured they would have done this all yeaR

The Marlins, whose attendance ranks last in the National League five weeks into the season, have decided to close the upper bowl at Marlins Park for at least some weeknight games – an approach the team used at times at Sun Life Stadium.

The upper bowl will be closed for six dates in the team’s nine-game homestand that begins next Tuesday. Fans can sit only in the lower bowl for games May 14-16 against Cincinnati and May 20-22 against Philadelphia. The upper bowl will remain open for May 17-19 games against Arizona.

Marlins representative P.J. Loyello said the team has not decided whether to close the upper bowl for all Monday through Thursday home games, and decisions will be made before each home stand.

Something must be done with Angel Hernandez after that horribly blown call last night and his despicable attitude in its aftermath. He has got to be the most controversial ump in the league. If there is a brouhaha you can almost bet Angel is involved in it.

This was the first time that the umps blew a call from replay. I don't know what they were looking at, but everyone else saw that replay and instantly knew it was a HR.

BTW, I was listening to MLB Radio on XM this morning and they were interviewing Jim McKean, the former head supervisor of the umps. He stated that Hernandez is the most accurate umpire when it comes to calling balls and strikes and has the highest percentage of correct calls to missed calls. He went on to say that he is the weakest ump when it comes to demeanor and management. He said his call accuracy is why he is always picked to do playoff games, but is poor management is why he will never make crew chief.

The Ump said that from the TV they had to look at, it looked like a double.

What, they don't have HD TV sets there and an HD feed ?

Ya gotta think they have at the very LEAST, the same as the TV people in the truck.

Maybe they had Dish feeds and it was a game it broadcast in HD? Lol

Heck, even on my phone it was obviously a HR.

I read yesterday that while the umps were reviewing the replays, Indians fans were tweeting their disappointment that the game was now tied...

Second major screw up by umps this week. If the Angels hadn't pulled the game out, they most likely would have won the appeal...

Umpires for Angels-Astros Don’t Know MLB Rule, Allow Consecutive Pitching Changes

Fieldin Culbreth suspended 2 games and all 4 umps have been fined. Source: Bleacher Report

 

[DodgerKing]

Good. It is nice to see MLB hold umpires accountable for their actions as well.

 

[DodgerKing]

In a separate incident, Tom Hallion was also fined for cursing at David Price

That's officiating 101. Any rookie umpire knows this rule. Shameful.
