caulfield12 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) One wonders who was working with Semien defensively all these years in the Sox system....surely it wasn't former Gold Glover Buddy Bell. And did his defense deteriorate because they kept moving him all over the infield....or did his not ever being allowed to master one position lead to this problem? Classic chicken and the egg. Which came first? BARTOLO COLON WALKED SOMEONE after a streak of nearly 50 innings. Never would have thought he'd last this long after his last time out with the White Sox.

All about ego. Fans don't pay to see umpires show up players, though. If you only go to one Nationals' game per year with your family, how disappointing would that result be?

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This writer at least has a sense of humor. In unveiling a new lineup, new manager Dan Jennings talked about discovering a formula that would work, one that would be a home run on par with Kentucky Fried Chicken. “I’m sure the Colonel tried a lot of recipes before he came up with the secret one for the chicken,” Jennings said before the Marlins took the field Wednesday night to face Arizona. “So we’re going to hopefully keep working it until we find ours.” Perhaps it needs more spice. Or additional time in the oven. Not only did the Marlins remain lifeless at the plate, but the pitching was poor and they allowed the aggressive Diamondbacks to control the base paths by allowing six stolen bases — including a steal of home — to equal a franchise record for most allowed in a game. That figure could grow to seven stolen bases, pending a ruling by the official scorer. “Needless to say, you’ve to improve your focus and control the running game better at this level, and it’ll be addressed,” Jennings said. “It’s frustrating because that team’s taking advantage of things that they see and have advance scouted as weaknesses.” The Marlins, who came within one out of being no-hit on Sunday in a setback to Atlanta, were held to only four hits — with two coming in a ninth inning in which the outcome was no longer in doubt. They’ve gone 0-6 on a homestand in which they have totaled only 10 runs. Over their past four games, the Marlins are hitting a paltry .140.

I saw the replays and it looked like once Harper stepped back in he made a hand motion to show the ump how low the pitch was. If that is in fact what he did, then it doesn't matter what happened before, he deserved to be thrown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Harper should have been thrown out. If you're 22 and you've been thrown out of 5 games, it's you. Quit acting like a baby on a 0-0 pitch in the third inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm sorry...that was on the ump. Harper shouldn't have been tossed. The ump and Williams couldn't finish their argument and then the ump got short with Harper, who had already gotten back in the box and then stepped out because of the continued back and forth between the ump and williams.

There's a way to let the ump know you think he missed a call without saying "That wasn't even close", or whatever he said. It was an 0-0 count in the third inning. Once he did the foot in the box demonstration, most umps would have rung him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Any one see where Khris Davis for MLW was called out on an appeal after a HR. Ump said he missed home, but after the review, he was ruled safe. What was the umpire looking at to call him out on the appeal? The review took like 4 minutes in the 1st inning. But umps will get on players for stepping out of the box now and slow the game down.
