And did you see where Mike Bartling over ruled Scott Thomas on that play at 2B.

Oh, and was it Mendoza who said the umpire should call the runner out on principle for not sliding? Oh, yeah, that would go over real well if a play went that way.

Coach: Are you kidding, she was safe!
Blue: Coach, she didn't slide.
Coach: So what, she doesn't have to slide
Blue: Yeah, but I called her out on principle!!!!

Yeah, that umpire would be invited back next year.

Yeah, what was that all about...
I was working at the time, but had the TV on.
Couldn't figure out what actually happened.

The play was 6-5-4, U1 called runner at 2nd safe. The TH immediately noted she should have slid and probably would have been safe, but she went in standing up. The replay showed the ball getting into F4s glove before the runner contacting the base.

F6 started questioning U3 (Mike Bartling) about the call. The TH pointed out that U3 was telling the UT player that he thought the runner was out at 2nd. Yeah, like I believe that. Unfortunately, all the idiots in TV land probably do believe it.

Apparently, and I don't remember seeing it on the screen, Mike and Scott got together and the runner was ruled out at 2nd. And in their normal fashion of ignorance, declared that one umpire over ruled another's call which any intelligent fan knows that isn't going to happen.
