Ball 5 Sunday night Phillies Dodgers
Just saw the sequence of pitches. National TV all four (4) lost track of the count. 5 balls to get a walk. You'd think one them would have caught it. How embarassing.

Ughh...

Oh no! He lost the count! That never happens to me or any umpire I know! Guess they should take indicators on the bases.

Big deal. Stuff happens. It just happened on ESPN is all.

Apparently corrected the original post? So losing the count is a big deal and not knowing what game you are watching is not?

Layne's had an interesting night. Bottom 9, U1 had to rule fair/foul on a ball a few feet in front of the bag as Layne didn't appear to come up to the line to make the call.

Then in the top of the 10th, bases loaded, 0 outs there was a ground ball to F5 who stepped on third and threw home. U3 made a big out signal and when F2 caught the ball with R3 still 15 feet from the plate, he signaled out on the "force." R3 stopped entirely. Then F2 walked up and tagged R3 and Layne signaled out again.

It is if all four of them do and they're making six figures.

Did the manager, or players on the team being offended making 7 or 8 figures question the count, which they are allowed to do? It seems both teams have a lot at stake (playoffs) in these final 32-33 games to let such an obvious mistake go unquestioned due to their lack of professional attention.

I bet they all knew what game they were watching.

The coaching staff can question the count you know?

Never happened to you I guess?

You aren't making six figures umpiring? You should join the MLB! They could really use an umpire of your caliber that never loses the count.
