Braves V Mets May 7th

[LMan]

Im watching it. I dont know how some folks can play the 'this/that group of umps is incompetent' when you have the A's game yesterday where the entire crew forgot the pitch count and sent a BR to 1B with three balls, and now this Everyone screws up sometimes....

I can see Angel missing the tag at the plate (if there was one), almost impossible to see a tag on a heel (if thats where it was). But the failure to allow Smoltz to go to 2B is baffling.

Is an ejection an automatic "TIME!" situation? LouDuca threw the ball down in his hissyfit and it was still live, AFAIK.

When Angel ejected LouDuca, did that AUTOMATICALLY kill the ball? That's all I can think of......
