Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Omg, he'd had a perfect game. Possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a sports game.

It would be kinda fun to make a poll out of it if we can...

ump blew it.

He was out by half a step .... I'm still surprised how well the pitcher took it after the game, not only did he accept the ump's apology but I heard him on ESPN saying well everyone makes mistakes. Sorry but I don't think I would of handled it that way if it was me

I still dont want replay in baseball.

Re: Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Baseball is all kinds of crazy, man. Only in baseball can a guy have a winning grand slam and break his ankle coming to home plate and be out for the rest of the season.

Re: Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Sucks he didn't an official perfect game, but he got a brand new Corvette out of it. I think that's a nice consolation.

Re: Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Maybe better?

Re: Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Oh he was out. From a baseball perspective he was out by a long shot...not even close. On a bang-bang play I might give the ump some slack, but umpires in Major League Baseball are amazingly accurate, even with the bang-bang plays. This guy BLEW it, absolutely, totally, and completely.

Having said that, the last thing baseball needs is replay.

sell the vette....

Re: Omg, at the missed ump call
 

Are there any umps out there? I have a question. A long time ago, I was playing 1st base. There was a sharp liner back to the pitcher on one bounce...the batter hadn't even started running when the ball was in our pitcher's glove. He (our pitcher) immediately turned toward me and tossed a lollipop towards me...he had a lot of time. In tossing it so meekly, it only made it half-way to me in the air and rolled the rest of the way. I stretched out and grabbed the ball in my hand but never lifted my hand off the ground. I stayed in that position waiting for the ump to call "out", but he never did. When the runner crossed 1st, which was about 3 seconds after I grabbed the ball, the ump called, "safe".

Did he not call the guy out because I never lifted the ball off the ground?

Here's another...(it's late and I'm bored)

I once slid head-first into 3rd base, beating the throw by at least a second. As I slid, my outstretched hand slid under the bag. I was called out. I was wondering if the underside of the bag was part of the bag, too, or do you have to touch the top or one of the sides? j/c
