NYY Girardi Tossed

[IRISHMAFIA]

Because the umpire would NOT ask anyone for help on a play right in front of him.

Stated that is all that he asked the umpire to do and was told no, so he kept arguing.

Maybe he thought it was an NCAA game

This is an example of the ego problem in MLB. The umps are just as bad as the players. It is rare to see umpires actually get together to make sure a call is the correct call. I wouldn't want replay so much, except the umps in MLB are such egomaniacs, that correct calls are missed simply because "it is only my call".

Rubbish. There was no reason to go for help, he was right on it.

Around 1:07 of this recap of the game.

The correct call WAS made here. Clearly. There was absolutely no reason to waste the time of the players, fans, and other umpires by going for help.

Do you go for help every time you are asked to, even when you know you have the right call and need no other information???

Girardi, much like Torre, argues the most pointless things and looks like an idiot. Girardi almost never backs down and gets tossed. Torre came to his senses at times.

Then, when there is a blatantly obvious miscall or misapplication of a rule, he sits on his ass and does nothing.

are too much a part of the show. If they would just do their job and not start shit then things would be better for the game.

I think in baseball in general not just MLB there is a feeling that sometimes getting tossed might "fire up the troops". Not saying it's right or that it even works but I think some believe in getting "strategically" ejected on purpose.

And Manuel ended up talking to Davidson (saying not a foul?); whom he called old the day before.
.....................................
"Revere reached on an error to start the eighth, but Michael Young grounded a ball to Marlins third baseman Ed Lucas. Revere slid headfirst into second as he appeared to break up the double play. But Davidson, 60, said Revere interfered with the play, intentionally wrapping his arms around Marlins second baseman Derek Dietrich.

Replay showed that never happened.

"What did I do?" Revere asked Davidson.

"You grabbed his leg," Davidson replied.

"How?"

"You grabbed it?"

"Are you serious?"

Revere could shake his head and laugh afterward. The Phillies won.

"It's ridiculous, but I enjoyed the fans," Revere said. "I never heard that. Some of the coaches said they never heard an umpire get it like that. It was funny. I'm glad we won the game, because if that was the reason we lost, I'd be so mad. It was clear I didn't grab his leg. I know he was standing right there and he said he did see it, so I was like, 'You may need some glasses or something.'"

Said Manuel, who is nearly 10 years older than Davidson: "I don't know what he was seeing. Bob's kind of getting a little old.""
