Girardi/ARod double dip ejection
 

I know some here get tired of this, but this one was pretty good, as it involved Marty "Doesn't have to tag him" Foster. Also because the pitch involved was in the 4th...and the EJ happened in the 5th- apparently Girardi had a chance to go look at a replay of certainly looked like a fairly low and VERY outside pitch. The story is circulating that A-Rod was not only unhappy about the pitch, but about a supposed ongoing conversation between Foster and the Oriole C.

Two Yankees for the price of one.


Its also fun as Girardi pitches a genuine Piniella - type fit, making a gesture apparently indicating the size he thinks Foster's manhood is..:D

1. You are repeating a myth created by a rat. Marty did not say that.

2. The pitch was up enough but a bit outside. I wish all "misses" were as bad.

3. Who gives a sh!t what A-rod is unhappy about?

A-Roid is a crybaby!

MLB guidelines are instant ejection for anyone using video replay to argue a call, period (The only exception would be asking for review on a home run per the new instant replay rule prior to the next pitch / play).

Girardi is looking at a suspension & large fine for his actions. A-Rat a fine for running his mouth & starting the mess.

[QUOTE=MrUmpire;625359]1. You are repeating a myth created by a rat. Marty did not say that.=QUOTE]

Is that what Marty told you?

[QUOTE=realistic;625389]I have heard the same from two independent sources whom I trust -- one of whom got it directly from Marty.

I have replayed this video several times, and I can't see where that pitch is 'very outside'. Holy Cow, am I missing something here?

[QUOTE=realistic;625389]He told it to a relative whom I trust explicitly.

I heard the exact same explanation from a AAA crew this summer. I guess it comes down to who do you trust...Marty or a Rat?

I'll take Marty.

No you are correct, AR should have hit the pitch, he just couldn't pull the trigger. Maybe a ball, but very close IMO.

The pitch was "fairly low" and "VERY outside"? Let me guess, OP is a Yankee fan?

Too close to take. Perfect pitchers pitch. Foul it off A-ROID!

Ya think? Girardi was fun to watch do a Piniella? Sounds like a dyed-in-the-wool fanboy to me, enjoying watching a rat go off on an umpire. Sheesh, even when Bud Black comes out on the umpire, I root for him to get run as soon as possible. I root for the umpire in rat/umpire confrontations.

Give Lou P credit
 

A-rod got dumped the next inning, an idiot.
Arguing a call after the other teams at-bat, classic A-rod.

Girardi got dumped the next inning, not very Lou like.

As far as the pitch, it was 3 (ball outside), 2 (strike at the knees) count.
Better swing baby!

That definitely was a 'grab some pine, meat' pitch. A strike all day long in my games.

[QUOTE=MrUmpire;625579]All I'm saying is that Marty Foster is not on record for saying that. Your account came off sounding like you were standing within earshot and heard the whole conversation. The closest thing there is to a quote on this subject is hearsay.

I will always believe the umpire before the player. If there would be one player that I would believe, it would be Jeter. Everything said about his character and demeanor is true. He is as nice a guy as they come.
