Jerry Layne
Jerry Layne began tonight's game working the box and seemed to have trouble seeing the low strike. He then changed to his normal scissors stance, moved a bit more into the slot, and was getting those borderline low calls right. Just an observation.
Of course, McCarver attributed it to the catcher getting lower for him, but we know that's not the case. Good call just now at the plate. |
Another good call at the dish.
By the way, does anyone else wish he would have stuck the end of his belt back through his first belt loop... or is that just annoying me? lol |

Umps 0-2 on Swisher though. Should have been out on the pick. Did not leave early. |
Oh boy... not sure how Tim missed that one...

What's going on tonight? McClelland just blew a DP call at 3B.

McClelland's feet stuck in concrete
He blew that one because he was lazy-got blocked by Posada and couldn't see that Cano's foot was not on the bag. I'm not sure he ever moved from the TOP. Inexcusable.
That's worse than Cuzzi's call the other night. At least he was hustling and in position. |

still missed the call tough. Im not sure that was a worse call than Cuzzi's |
Could be. It looks like a relaxed scissors stance to me. I don't see many umpires do that old-style crane the neck, arch the back uncomfortable looking version that was popular in the 70s and 80s. A nice relaxed stance like Hunter W. or Bruce F. use.

Now he working right over F2's head...
Looks like he's right on the point in some sort of a crouch/scissors/boxy slouch. Especially with a LH batter. And is it me or is he getting set really late, almost still moving down as the pitch comes into the zone? Oh well, he's the pro and here we are. |
