Not necessarily a "huge" gap, Steve, just a noticeable one would suffice.

To me, a "huge" gap is one that is barely noticeable when lined up properly. T.Mac was not lined up properly. He was moving when he should have just stopped and got the best look he could, as the ball was hit hard. Watch the ball get touched, quickly look at the feet of the runner. Of course, he knows that.

You try to get lined up. Play might have happened too quick but I have never seen the guy hustle. If you don't get there you do the best you can with a look. In my neck of the woods they have a bench player watching what you are doing and if you were not looking down they will appeal just to put you on the spot even if they know the runner didn't leave early.

I love your previous comment and totally agree.
"McCarver sucks but McClleland blew the call.

Good call UMPJIM

If you got no bounce you have a more difficult time selling your missed calls. Tim got no bounce.

mccarver is an idiot. he and buck need to go. it's more upsetting to me than it should be when these idiots go off about baseball (or worse) umpiring and the thoughts they express are completely ridiculous. Buck is just riding the pony given to him through his dad and his dad's reputation, but mccarver is a former ballplayer (and catcher, supposedly the leader of the defense), i don't know why he gets so stupid all the time. must be senile

What does it mean "to take the sting out of the balls"?

McDumba$$ said "Usually, the catchers and pitchers take the sting out of the ball. Molina and Burnett are not taking the sting out of the ball." What does that mean? How do you take the "sting out of the ball"?
