SDS, why even go there about Angel. He is a MLB umpire. You have your opinions. Great. What nmakes you qualified. I knwo Angel personally. He has several post season assignments. I am sure he doesn't belong in MLB but they give him those assignments anyways. Well that is incorrect. There are guys that have over ten years in MLB without a psot season assignment. Angel Hernandez is good umpire, by anyones standards. But more importantly, he is a good guy.

As for the play, PU never called time during the play. However, U1 called time when the manager came onto the field. U2 saw that Smoltz hadn't reached 2nd base when time was called. Therefore, Smoltz last legally occupied 1st base. Edn of play.

Cox argues with U2, and U1 must explain what happened. That is why U1 ejects Cox.

Hope this helps.
