I think replay might have been good to use here.

No way he was called out. Unless CB Buckner was the 1st base ump.

How in God's name does an ump miss that call?

 

He should be banished to the minor leagues for the remainder of the season.

He was indeed called out.

[LRCW]

Where the heck is the umpire positioned on this play?

[LRCW]

He was indeed called out.

 

 

Helton has some super long legs.

[LRCW]

How do the other umpires not overule the 1st base umpire on this play? When was this play?

It was Welke, I would assume close to the bag on the right side.

Earlier today.

Where is the ball in the picture? It doesn't look like Helton is even stretching yet. It looks as though he's came of the bag to stop an errant throw.

And part of them are invisible.

That picture is when Helton caught the ball. He did come off the catch the throw, that is the amazing part. :lol: I wish I could see a video of it but I can't find one.

Where the heck is the umpire positioned on this play?

 

I'm guessing the men's room, or the concession stand. Did the manager get tossed? I would have.

[LRCW]

Welke is the umpire that was behind the plate during last Thursday's BDS when Marshall had the blown save.

[LRCW]

Here's a video. Welke should be fired. I don't want to hear everyone makes a mistake. If you can't umpire any better than this you don't deserve a job in MLB.
