For those of you with MLBtv, the innings are off on the replay and the audio is WAY off. |
When it's time to go ... it's time to go go go go.
Nobody should have to put up with people getting in their face cussing and yelling, not umpires, not short order cooks, not used cars salesman. Why do we baby these over paid crybabies that have ruined baseball. Yes it is about the game, play ball and shut the *beep* up. |

More and more umpires are showing up on video replays. Those highlights often cut away as the broadcasters continue to "dig up some dirt" on the umpire. It appears that the powers that be do not want to stamp out these meaningless confrontations, thus MLB stinks in this regard.

My guess is that Varitek probably thought that Beckett was going to get dumped and he figured he had a chance of taking Beckett's place.
It looked like it worked. What about what Varitek did was idiotic? Are you a Yankees fan?:D |

That pitch was worthy of a strike...MLB to Connie Mack all the way down to little league.... Beckett was not showing up anybody, but showing frustration at the expense of an umpire who should have called a strike...Varitek protected his pitcher.... Watch it 4 or 10 times til you get what baseball is all about |

Look here...Brian knows plenty about baseball. I would put his baseball knowledge up against anyone else on this forum. Varitek is a tool, and deserved to get run. So the umpire maybe missed a pitch? What, you've never missed a pitch? Get real. When you turn around to argue with the umpire, you are showing him up. If you don't know that, then there is plenty of room on the head of that tack. Beckett is lucky he didn't get run for screaming the obscenity, which was most certainly personal for the umpire. But that doesn't excuse Varitek's actions, protecting his pitcher or not. He can't stay in the game. |

Probably your strike zone |
Good one!

Easy

Seems to me being the 7th inning, and Beckett's reaction, he missed more than one pitch during the game... Varitek gets run plain and simple for his actions...but don't back Brian when he calls him a poor catcher...I only answered this cause it pisses me off when people send out generalities like this. Oh yeah, and I never slice... |

It was a ball, because thats what is was called, period. Varitek, and Francona couldn't accept that. GOOD BYE. I think your the one thats needs to figure out what baseball is all about, because you certainaly have'nt grasped this concept yet. And I am a Sox fan too. |
