I posted in another thread, (not the right one, but there are so many of these this week, I just hit one) that the ALCS crew had a bad series, just like the Angels and Cardinals. Every year, at least one of the best teams in baseball melts down in the playoffs, and makes you wonder how they beat the Rays or the Rockies.
Normally it doesn't happen to the umpire crews, but this year it did. They are human, and for whatever reason, they flat out didn't show up, just like the Angels. Usually one guy makes one call in one game. It gets talked about and nothing else happens. This year it seemed like the whole crew got distracted by the Edding call in game 2. It happens sometimes.
