How? By losing his job? Not getting WS assignments, like he did last year?

And btw, very jealous about Big Sur.

Back from the beach. Having a light lunch...salad with a side of calamari...before the bike ride.

Certainly the team will file a complaint. If the discipline comes from MLB or WUA you most likely won't hear about it right away, but word will leak out as it has in the past. The players may also dish out some "discipline". They have ways of making an umpire's job difficult without crossing the ejection line.

Angel's post season assignments, in the words of one former MLB umpire, diminishes what honor reamins in the selection. Another example of EOE?

I don't think the WS assignments are on merit, they rotate them among the staff when you get a certain amount of years in the league! (Not Positive?)

I don't think that's right....I can give you examples to support my argument if you'd like, but I think they try to base it on "merit".
