I've seen more managers argue with Nelson than most other umpires, but in almost all the situations he's been right.
He also has the best out call, imo.
Kudos to him.

I spoke to Jeff about this and had a few laughs with him over the fact that he once again was in the middle of postseason ruling situations. We reminisced about his obstruction call at third in the Giants LCS a couple years ago, where he ruled the runner was obstructed at third but the runner's being tagged out at home stood.
Jeff also found it rather odd that he had all the whackers at first in the previous game, bringing Bobby Cox out of the dugout each inning there for a while.

Jeff got all the whackers right, and I could not believe Cox kept coming out! Then Cox didn't come out on the call at third, which was the only one he had a legit beef on.
That stupid FOX ex-rat announcer saying that he should have killed the ball on the balk call proved the point that many players and coaches have very limited knowledge of the rules, and how they are correctly interpreted and applied. Of course, he might have been thinking of his kid's HS games, in which he would have been correct.
