Mets ejection
 

Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | PHI@NYM: Manuel ejected for arguing a play at second - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

Oy vey

Calls are so much easier from the comfort of a booth after seeing 5 different angles of the same play. Wagner unfortunately, from what I could tell from the video, was screened by Rollins trying to make the tag. Don't know what he saw, but it wasn't a tag.

First, they need to lose the silly looking pharmacist smocks. They're just stupid.

Now, would the umpire have gone to U1 for a different view, if asked nicely? I mean he had to guess on the tag because of his position. Not a bad position, but it was just a goofy tag. Sometimes C doesn't see everything. I'll bet U1 saw that gap.

So if U2 refuses to get help, the manager HAS to get himself run. No choice.

Not a day goes by without both an ejection thread, and a kylejt smock post.

You can rely on me, Brian.

The man's right about the smocks. When the man's right, he's right.

You forgot jwwashburn posting a link to a mlb.com video.

Why didn't he move?
 

Plate umpires often move to get a better view of a play-I know I do that.

In MLB and everything below, do you notice more of a feet nailed to the ground approach at other bases? I am not saying he had that chance for sure here, but do we tend to get stuck in one place and take whatever view that we have? It seems like I do that sometimes.

The smocks are horrible.
