I have two words for Major League Baseball: CHALLENGE FLAG I really hope that the Pirates don't miss the playoffs by one game, and I am a St. Louis Cardinals fan. Braves-Pirates go 19 innings, end on controversial call at home plate
Yeah that was some horrible sheet. The ump clearly has money on the outcome of the game. That was beyond bad.
Step back from conspiracy mode for a minute. It was the 19th inning. He probably was just tired and wanted to go home. Damn union employee!
I'm hoping they'll eventually decide to have some sort of 'challenge' system too... they don't need it as often as football, but every now and then they ****-up and make a wrong call that hurts a team bad.
Who cares what inning it was? The call was pretty blatantly wrong. He had cash on the game....no other reason. Everybody in the stadium could see the call but him? Yeah right.
The umps are the least paid and hardest working guys on a baseball field. He should be sticking up for the comrades against those oppressive corporate players and owners.
