In the dirt or not?

[Umpire47]

I think basically we can all agree that from a replay the ball was cleanly caught.They just blew the call.

Another thing we can all agree on was Eddings bad judgment on his mechanics. He should have been more emphatic in his no catch call or at least not signaled out. He blew it.

Next, I am very disappointed in Eddings and Rieker's waffling of the call afterward. They should have been man enough to say they blew it. You cannot tell me this replay was inconclusive.

I think everyone - especially the teams and media - need to move on. This is why it is a seven game series and not a one game series. Eddings and his crew blew it, and unfortunalty they were not men enough to admit it. But that is no reason to throw in the towel for the Angels- they still have 5 games left to win the series.

That is my two cents on this matter.
