I am not sure it is fair for us to say that ALCS crew did not "show up" for this series. You had the Eddings call and then call in Game 5 that was corrected. Ok, we are at two calls now for the entire series.
They played five games in which over 41 innings of baseball was played. I know I did not get to see one single of the series and for that matter of the playoffs to this point.
However, to say based on two calls of entire series that umpires did not "show up" for the series, I am not sure is a fair statement for us to make.
Do umpires have bad games? Yes. Do umpires have bad series? Yes. Do umpires have bad years? Yes. None of us as umpires are perfect no matter how hard we try to be, we are not nor will we ever be perfect.
These umpires are the best umpires in the country and they are good at what they do. However, you also have to consider the plays that happened in the series to spark all of the debate.
If you were there as one of the umpires of the ALCS crew, what would you have done differently? You never know what you will actually do or say until you are in the exact same situation.
Just my thoughts and opinion.
