Is anyone else surprised that since he was rehired by MLB, Joe West has been given so many high profile assignments - crew chief during the regular season, two LCS in a row, and now home plate for...

I'll stick to current mlb umpires. My favorite is probably Randy Marsh. I love watching him behind the plate and I really admire his style and demeanor on the field.

apparently only mlb umpires with the last name of Wendelstedt enforce this rule. Hunter's father Harry made a similar call which enabled Drysdale to continue his scoreless inning streak to 58 2/3. ...

You misunderstood what I wrote - I did not say that Montague was the only crew chief who worked the world series last year. I said that he was "only the crew chief in the world series"

I am sorry...

First off, if you are talking about Joe Brinkman, I believe that you are totally wrong. I think he has improved a great deal over the last year. He no longer sets up three feet behind the catcher...

The way Brian Runge sets up behind the plate is identical to how his father Paul used to set up. Brian also had an identical strike call to his fathers his first two years.

Oh, and Larry Young...

it was interesting seeing McClelland's new stance after 20 years. My guess is that the new stance is much easier on the knees. As mentioned in a previous post many of the veteran umpires have...

I always thought that Angel Hernandez was a bit inconsistent as a ball/strike umpire, but it seems like he gets to work the LCS and World Series on an annual basis.

I watch a good number of MLB games every year and I admire those umpires who seem to be particularly consistant at calling balls and strikes. Of course, we can all agree with the obvious - that Tim...

it is tough to pick the strongest crew. Besides Scott's crew, I also like Demuth's, Welke's and Reed's. Barrett and Marquez are two of the best young umpires in the game.

This list will likely be revised as a few veterans may retire and Davidson, Hallion, and Hickox were rehired. The list itself seems plausible though since certain umpires have worked together for...

Re: Umps rehired plus Phillips

While it is true that Richie Phillips did a lot for mlb umpires it should have been obvious that by 1999 the general feeling towards umpires had shifted. At this time umpires were under heavy...
