OMG Did I hear this correctly?
"The third base umpire is from Japan, so obviously she wouldn't have made that call (against Japan) unle
unless she was sure"

now they are completely screwing up explaining when a ball is fair or foul. They keep talking about where the runner is!!
The play resulted in an INT call on R1 (from 3rd) - after which there was a long discussion with the coach.... Then, get this............ The umpires left the batter at the plate for a pitch, then realized...ooooops and put her on first! I wonder who's buying the drinks for that one! And also as an aside.... did you notice as the inning started, the male announcer was being cute and while acknowledging that it is traditional not to mention things like pending shut outs, no hitters, etc, couldn't help but notice there were a lot of zeros on the board................ and then Japan scored!

they had a breakdown earlier in the game with the bases loaded. fly ball to left, runners tag. lf throws home to catcher who throws to 3rd base to try to get runner from 2nd. 3bu went out on the fly and no one covered 3rd base.
not good.

oh, oh.....
Now after pointing out and repeating how he just blew a call, Female TH remembers to send a "special greeting" to U1's daughter on her 113th birthday... Am I making this up?

What about the batter receiving an additional 2 pitches before the umpires realized their mistake and awarded the batter 1st base from this play. These umpires un-rung the bell at the highest level. WOW!!!

On the fly ball tag up, HP couldn't stay at 3B because U1 wasn't covering HP. If you watch the replay, you can catch U1 only about 1/2 way down the line as R3 scores. No way he was in position to make a call.

The THs kept saying both umpires called it foul and then reversed their decision to an out. I wish they would get a clue. Don't remember the name, but the guy TH was hammering the umpires for that. Just another example of THs making a fool of themselves. It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

The call at first was brutal but not as bad as the one against Japan the other night. The sliding into first base apparently must make it tough to hear the ball and see exactly where the runner's hands are. I know that you have to be a great umpire to work at this level so even the good ones can have bad calls.
