Cal League Melee

This sounds like it was a wild one:

It's no wonder. The Cal League schedule is drawn up by morons, and has been for years. For example: the High Desert Mavericks played the Inland Empire 66ers seven out of the first 12 games this season. They played the Bakersfield Blaze six out of the first nine games at the start of May. Seven consecutive games against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in June.

So many games against the same opponent in a short period of time leads to short tempers. And that leads to fights.

Plus, the league president, Joe Gagliardi, has no idea of what the schedule looks like. The 66ers played only 69 (instead of 70) games through June 18. The league changed the situation three times, before being told how to determine the first half winner between Inland and the Mavericks. Gagliardi admitted that he wasn't aware of the problem with the schedule.

I told you this would happen with replacement umpires...they have no clue how to prevent situations like this from happening. The real MiLB umpires no how to prevent stuff like this from happening.

(grin)

Oh my...where's Jiggy and SoCal1 now? Night, night!

Bull puckey. I was present at a Mavericks' game a few years ago, when a fight erupted. I forget who the visitors were, but it was the same situation. The teams had played multiple games against each other in a short time. And, there were "real" Cal League umps on the field.

And how do you explain all the fights in MLB, with "regular" MLB umps on the field.

Cool

Bob,

I believe I detected a note of irony in the tone of WWTB's comments.

Lets see. The umpires got the call right. Benches cleared. They ejected a few players from both team. The game then continued without another problem.

wWTB, what did they do wrong? Did one of the teams forfeit because the umpires lost control? Sounds to me like they handled this well. Nowhere in this article did the writer say the umpires lost control.

Nice stretch here. No one said that fights would be avoided. We always just said that they would be handled better.

I may not agree with everything you say WWTB. But we have a similar background and even you must admit you were a little off base to say that things like this wouldn't happen with real umpires on the field. Statements like that are just trying to bring back the amlu/scab arguments. Your sarcasm is inapplicable and immature.
