WS Line Umpires
Anyone else feel the umpires in Philadelphia are too close to the infield?

It would be to their benefit to be a little deeper should they have an issue along the fence/wall.

If line umpires positioned themselves a little deeper, Richie Garcia might still be working

Nah, just ammo. Buy it now before it's outlawed.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Why? They have instant replay for that!

I do think it is cute that the acerbic, sarcastic, and ridiculing anti-fan of MLB is watching the WS now that Philly is in it! Musta still been an edge left on the bandwagon for you to grab!

No, I just watch while the commercials are running on whatever channel an entertaining program is showing. And, BTW, it would be the same no matter which teams were playing. I just watch for discussion fodder.

Back when I was still a fan, I was at Game Six of the 1980 World Series when Philadelphia established another first in baseball when they announced that "police dogs and horses are "in play".

BTW, I believe the replay can only determine, fair, foul or whether the ball cleared the fence/wall for a HR. I don't think it can be used to determine interference which is where Garcia screwed up TWICE on the same play.

What you are talking about? Do you know how many people are killed each year as a result of bayonet lugs?

Thank goodness I delayed taking a swig of my lemonade. I'd have ruined a gorgeous 23" LCD monitor!
