![]() Yeah, and on the radio, Ted Leitner (who is a stupid a$$ to start with) said that Drake overreacted to Gonzalez, who only said, "that's not a strike." What a crock of crap. Drake isn't my favorite umpire by a long shot, but nobody throws out a ballplayer for just saying that. Gonzalez obviously said, "YOU......" something or other to get kicked out for the first time in his career. The moron color guy is Mark Grant, ex MLB rat (pitched for the Padres and the Giants), who is actually a pretty nice guy, and I discuss the broadcasters' lack of rule expertise with him whenever I run in to him (he hangs out at a 7-11 near my house). You can't expect rats (once a rat, always a rat) who are wannabe umpires to think like an umpire. It's their nature to think like rats.

To me, it looked like Gonzalez first said "That's two you..." I could be wrong, though.

Drake had no business pointing at Gonzalez. Just toss him and be done with it. Umpires hate getting shown up, so why point fingers and show up the players? Gonzalez clearly got what he deserved, but Drake just makes it worse (and makes himself look bad) by dropping down to the same level as players/managers that want to throw fits. Drake was brutal behind the plate, and he had probably been hearing about it for the entire game. |

Also, Enberg has an extensive baseball background, having played college ball as well as coaching the San Fernando Valley State baseball team from 1961 to 1965. I would say that, combined with all the major league baseball he has covered with style and flair, makes him one of the best announcers in the business. We San Diegans are very happy that he is the new lead TV play-by-play guy.
