Screw Torre, and any rat that accuses umpires of cheating.

Edit: See official apology to above named rat.

Now are you saying a umpire couldn't let his emotions and ego get the better of him and call a close play against the team that has upset him???

[SanDiegoSteve]

No, I'm not saying an umpire couldn't, I'm saying that I don't trust rats, as they are always accusing umpires of cheating. It's never their poor coaching, or their team's bad play, it's the umpires screwing them.

I doubt that Angel Hernandez would allow an argument to affect his future judgment. He is trained to move on after altercations, just like the rest of us are.

Yes, some umpires could let their emotions and egos get the better of them and purposely screw at team, but not likely at this high of level.

You see that's the part that kills me.I know most umpires me included let things go but what I've seen of this umpire(and I don't get to see many games) he seems to want to look for trouble and seems to be a bit to aggressive.Just my observation.

[SanDiegoSteve]

My bad, it was Solomon Torres, an official cheese eating rodent player who was accusing Hernandez of cheating, not Joe Torre. My apologies to Joe Torre and his entire rat family.

Come on. Any umpire with dignity does not make revenge calls. Just because an umpire makes a call that replays show was the incorrect call after an argument does not mean its a revenge call. Just as often, the next call goes in that team's favor.

For what purpose? Especially in baseball you do not have a "second chance" to make a "revenge call." I know if I work the bases, I might only get one close play to even make a call. How can I get back at someone when I only get one chance during a game?

It is clear that you will never understand any kind of umpiring or officiating issue.

First, he isn't obtuse or acute. His name is Angel, not Angle.

Second, if you think he has a chip on his shoulder, do you remember George Magerkurth, who used to challenge players to fistfights after the game? Angel is a pussycat compared with the umpires of yesteryear.
