Bucknor, Cuzzi pay the price

It appears both have been replaced in the WS crew.

What did Bucknor do wrong? I thought his plate job in the LDS was very well done.

You don't remember his two plays at first?

Base umpiring screwups are catching more attention than plate work.

Must have slipped my mind with all the even bigger screwups that have been happening lately.

All these calls on the bases in the post season reminds of two of Evans favorite quotes:

The first, the ever popular, "Surpirse is an umpire's worst enemy."

The second and less known: "The grass is where the snakes live."

Who is on the WS crew? I had not seen where the WS crew had been announced.
I guess I was (incorrectly) under the impression that if you worked either the DS or LCS you did not work the WS....that the crew was made up of six different umpires who ha dnot worked the earlier rounds.
How do you know about Bucknor and Cuzzi? Just curious.

If you work the division series' you can work the WS.

That's most of the story. The original WS crew was selected from umpires having done the first round. Both CB and Cuzzi were on the crew...no more.

Now there was just another one. I saw him as safe while lying on my back in bed through squinty eyes on a 20" TV. What is going on here????

And in the same inning McMouth (McCarver) had to correct himself 3 times...and he gets to write down and practice his judgements (facts) before hand!!

Yeah, maybe they need instant replay in the damn booth for those bozos, who make many more mistakes than the worst umpires in the universe. Maybe these jokers should have to sit out the playoffs because of their poor performances. Then they would see what it's like.

I always get a real kick out of Fieldin.

Why was he lying on your back?

Anyone else notice tonight's PU "commenting" on just about every pitch? Doesn't say "ball", says "no, that's down" kind of stuff. Glad to know I'm not the only one who does that, though I don't think I do it NEARLY as frequently.
It would be interesting to watch a game with that PU microphone up loud enough to hear throughout...
