Holy Sheepdip Batman! Must be a good reason why he worked MLB for something like 12 years before getting his first World Serious...
Like changing his mind on K3. I almost messed myself when I saw that. At least it was only on worldwide television -- and now available on the 'net. Just think: if they started their positions so the crew chief, Tim Welke, was the best umpire, and Danley is second best, then that sixth game HP umpire must be one of our SP umps with a one-foot-long leash on his leg.

I agree with all that say it was terrible. Then later missed the HBP.

Yes, he is human and he is making mistakes like we all have. So are we, yet we routinely critique each other's interpretations or mechanics and occassional performance.
Just because this guy umpires in the major league does not exempt him from criticism. If anything, with his contract and financial demands, his performance should be scrutinized even more so. Do you think that if he watches the game he isn't going to critique his own work? Do you think he may not have already had a discussion with someone concerning last night's game? We all know when we screw up and the better umpires work to insure that mistake does not occur again. I just hope Danley doesn't take the attitude that he made a mistake and it is no big deal. It should be a big deal, but to the umpire more than anyone else. |

I know you were kidding around a little; just wanted to explain it to those who might not know. You are on to something, though: With a crew of 6 the SP umpire you mentioned could get by with his mobility. ![]() |

I was hoping we'd see a crew working the playoffs that included Gorman, Wendelstedt, DiMuro and Welke. Maybe sometime soon.

And that, my friends, is why SRW wears a steel cup. If your balls were audible, you would too.
