Frank Pulli is the last person I would want evalutating the umpires. He had the absoulute worst ball/strike timing
of any umpire I have ever seen. I wonder what Questec would have shown about his zone?

I don't know of any legitimate reason to have kept Mike Winters off the Series crew, and as far a Froemming's weight goes, hey, he'll challenge you to a 40 yard dash anytime, ol' Bruce can motor. I don't remember too many folks getting on Big John about his weight.

Tim McClelland just worked the LCS, so he can't do the series anyway, so why was his name even mentioned?

West is scary left unchecked? What's scary, I don't get it? Can someone fill me in on how that sentiment came about? Like Jerry Layne can somehow keep Joe in line. Ha!

Some of this does seem to be cronyism on Pulli's part, with payback as a motivation. JMHO
