MD Longhorn Not that I'm sure they will... I just need something other than a 2 week old jump-turn-jab-step-neither conversation and a flukey broken bat hitting the ball conversation. I have tired head from these 2.

dileonardoja I thought the positioning and call by Dan Iassogna on Prince Fielder trying to score was outstanding. For anyone who questions the need to be 3BL extended, this was a perfect example. At first I thought he was too close to the play but apparently not. He nailed it!
JRutledge That is an outstanding call. Great mechanics and timing. And I am saying this as a Tiger fan. I did not see the game live (as I was at another meeting) but when I saw the replay at first I had confidence in the call being right. Great call once again. Peace
johnnyg08 Agree. There was a banger at 1B as well that Cubreth nailed. There was also a pick off call at 2B that was correct as well...very, very close call that was also correct.
ILRef80 The umpires were outstanding last night. Unfortunately, that doesn't merit 1/10 of the media attention that missed call does.

He nailed it! 3BL extended and he kept adjusting his position as the play developed. Textbook example of how to do it the right way. Flat out great umpiring by Iassogna.
RPatrino Tigers manager Jim Leyland, said, "[Iassogna] made an absolute terrific call in a big, tough situation, a tough call and he made a great call." Nuff said!
bbsbvb83 I found one for you, Longhorn. Thanks to the new HDTV I purchased this morning, I can see that Culbreth appears to be wearing a blue ball bag with his black shirt. Let the bashing begin!!! 😀
RPatrino I am a Giants fan, but more importantly, I am an umpire. The performance of the umpires in this World Series was amazing, simply amazing! Great Job!!

As little as I was able to watch the entire series, what I saw was outstanding. So glad there was nothing that was so bad that umpires everywhere could shake their heads. Peace
