Tampa vs. Toronto Wednesday

[tballump]

Well, Mr. Hallion worked last night in St. Louis and Mr. Kulpa was brought over from Mr. Scotts crew since Mr. Cuzzi is on vacation unless he has been injured. Mr. Crawford is still out and it seems like those concussion things are keeping the umpires out at least a week before being cleared to work again.

Mr. Crawford and Mr. Ripley were going to work a 2 man the day Mr. McSherry died on the field in Cincinnati. Mr. Hallion was riding to the hospital behind Big John.

I assume each team would provide an honest rat, I mean player to work a 3 man if it got down to 1 umpire being left.

According to a triple A ump, they would have delayed the game while attempting to get a "local" and nearby umpire (most likely D-1 or MiLB umpire) to the field. If that could not have been accomplished in a "reasonable" amount of time, the game would have been suspended.
