LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Worst Call of the Year | FanGraphs Baseball I think replay might have been good to use here. No way he was called out. Unless CB Buckner was the 1st base ump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He was indeed called out. Helton has some super long legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How do the other umpires not overule the 1st base umpire on this play? When was this play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 No way he was called out. Unless CB Buckner was the 1st base ump. It was Welke, I would assume close to the bag on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 How do the other umpires not overule the 1st base umpire on this play? When was this play? Earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It was Welke, I would assume close to the bag on the right side. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Helton has some super long legs. And part of them are invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoesGym Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Welke is the umpire that was behind the plate during last Thursday's BDS when Marshall had the blown save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 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. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=21095337&topic_id&c_id=mlb&tcid=fb_video_21095337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
