Steve FWIW I enjoyed it when Steve Palermo (IMO, one if not the best umpires ever to wear a uniform) was a commentator for FOX.

There was a controversial OBS call (can't remember off the top of my head) in which OBS was called but the runner rounded 3rd base and then was subsequently thrown out. The out call stood and Steve Palermo who was then with FOX gave an EXCELLENT explanation as to why the out call stood.

I do not know what happend but Palermo was only on that one year or so.

Now unfortunately we are left with the McCarver's of the world. Harold Reynolds when he was color commentator was pretty good with the rules. At least he took the time to look them up first.

That won't work for McCarver, because he can't read.

Reynolds said on Baseball Tonight that "the hands are part of the bat". I don't believe he looked that up first. He's # 3 behind McCarver and Joe Morgan.

:rolleyes:

I'm still trying to figure out how, in game 3 of this series when the DH Hairston went to left field to replace Damon, thereby terminating the DH role, "the pitcher automatically takes the DH's place in the order."

So does Hairston and the new pitcher share an at-bat?

Must be a rule change I wasn't aware of.

Get the FED rule out of your head, then read the pro rule again.

6.10 (b) The Designated Hitter may be used defensively, continuing to bat in the same position in the batting order, but the pitcher must then bat in the place of the substituted defensive player, unless more than one substitution is made, and the manager then must designate their spots in the batting order.

You are, I think, missing Ump25's point.

He's repeating what McCarver said ("the pitcher must bat in the DH's spot") and sarcasticly asking, "Is this a rules change?" to make the point that McCarver messed it up.

I'll only add that the volume level on my TV, at least, goes down as well as up.

Of course, I've been home and awake only enough to see about 4 innings total of the playoffs.

McCarver....Mess up?????
 
:confused:McCarver is messed up! Every time he opens his mouth to hear himself speak, he is guessing and predicting what a pitcher will throw, where a batter should hit the ball, or who should start a double play. There are a dozen other people better that him, but every year we have to listen to his stupid predictions.
Just call the game as it happens and quit telling every one what you think should happen.
Yankees vs Phillies? :D
