Notice the professionalism exhibited by the umpire (big bag of sunflower seed sticking out of his pocket, spitting seeds all during the conversation with the manager...) I guess those MLB umpires need their snacks during the games; it was the 10th inning, after all, he was probably hungry!
Yeah, he definitely booted that call.

One more reason I'm glad ASA teaches us to get 90 degrees to the tag. Looking at a play from that angle will drastically increase the chance that you'll miss the tag.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
