April 8, 2003. Last time this late in season? May 15, 1997. Maybe the Sox should start a rebuild and get back to first place by 2029! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I guess I'll beat the this into the ground one last time but because the game thread from yesterday is closed, I'll post it here. SS2K5 may like this. Apparently Tom Hallion, who threw Hellickson out yesterday, was suspended for 3 days in 1999 when as the home plate ump, because he bumped a player during an argument after ejecting a player and Jim Leyland. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Price face punishment for showing him up and then barking at him and initiating the whole thing after the inning? Neither should be suspended. It was handled on the field.

Had he tossed him immediately, you'd be on here b****ing about an umpire that has a short fuse, etc. You do what you can to keep him in the game. Good game management.

Cursing at a player isn't good game management. It is being a bad umpire. Why don't the umpires have to follow any rules? It is like the police, they are supposed to be above breaking the rules. That is a part of their job. If you have umpires going after players, that doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules exist to prevent exactly this situation, just like they do for players. The difference is no one can eject an umpire, which is why the league has to have some standards here.
