July 22, 201511 yr occuponymous people... like Mr Taylor made pants, or Mr Smith made horseshoes, so Mr Shoemaker throws baseballs?Has no one here ever heard of Willie Shoemaker? Sheesh.
July 22, 201511 yr Author Joe west is such a fat piece of ****. I'm not saying I hope he dies of a massive heart attack, I'm just saying I wouldn't not celebrate the day.It was actually... Most likely the right call. Nunez was quite a bit inside the line. However... I can't figure out what Cron was doing. It looked like a routine throw and should have been a routine catch.
July 22, 201511 yr So what your saying is that you hope it happens tonight on camera, just so his last moments could be document and celebrated throughout history.it would only top it if The Twins were playing the White Sox and Hawk managed to have a heart attack on air (but survive, because I sort like his whole bit)
July 22, 201511 yr Joe west is such a fat piece of ****. I'm not saying I hope he dies of a massive heart attack, I'm just saying I wouldn't not celebrate the day. I don't think that was the wrong call although it appeared the ball went in and out of his glove before Nunez ran through him.
July 22, 201511 yr I don't think that was the wrong call although it appeared the ball went in and out of his glove before Nunez ran through him. it certainly did, he never actually caught the ball.
July 22, 201511 yr occuponymous people... like Mr Taylor made pants, or Mr Smith made horseshoes, so Mr Shoemaker throws baseballs? What do the Griesedieck Brothers do?
July 22, 201511 yr Author Laundry is the one thing I don't do around here.Now that I'm living on my own for a year. I've realized that there was a bunch of things that I didn't do. When my wife joins me.. I'm gonna be better. I just ain't at that point yet.
July 22, 201511 yr It does seem that Joe West loves to take the opportunity to insert himself into the middle of the game whenever there is a borderline call. I prefer umps to stay on the outskirts of the game. Bottom line is a guy just got rewarded for a terrible throw.
July 22, 201511 yr Now that I'm living on my own for a year. I've realized that there was a bunch of things that I didn't do. When my wife joins me.. I'm gonna be better. I just ain't at that point yet.Living in New York for 8 years this is the first time I have had in unit laundry, I actually enjoy doing it now instead of hauling it down the street (first 4 years) or going down to the first floor to do it (last 3 years). Though I'm sure like $800 of our monthly rent goes to this "amenitie" All that is to say that doing laundry when it's in your own place? Piece of freakin cake!
July 22, 201511 yr one interpretation could be the ball got to the glove first and Nunez knocked it out. Either way Joe West still sucks Edited July 22, 201511 yr by DiscGolfer
July 22, 201511 yr It could be a legacy move for Obama. it would make no difference, they would vote it down.
July 22, 201511 yr Gibson looks awful so far, clearly he is sandbagging as he doesn't want to get traded to Colorado,
July 22, 201511 yr What do the Griesedieck Brothers do?please let it not be occuponymous... as i like their beer
July 22, 201511 yr How does the 3rd base ump miss that in the first place? You have like 3 calls to make all game max
July 22, 201511 yr it would only top it if The Twins were playing the White Sox and Hawk managed to have a heart attack on air (but survive, because I sort like his whole bit)I think we're out of luck with West. He's such a diva he has surely planned his on field death for a high profile Yankee/Red Sox playoff game.

Piece of freakin cake!Eventually a piece of cake for me... Until then I'm gonna avoid wearing white.
July 22, 201511 yr Unfortunately for Joe West, he has built himself a reputation as a poor ump (consistently voted in the bottom 5) who seems to enjoy making cowboy calls rather than consulting with his peers.
July 22, 201511 yr Eventually a piece of cake for me... Until then I'm gonna avoid wearing white.If you wash everything in the same load, eventually, you don't have to worry about white, black, green, etc.
July 22, 201511 yr How does the 3rd base ump miss that in the first place? You have like 3 calls to make all game max No one ever confused DJ Reyburn for a good umpire. It's not too difficult to have perfect positioning and look right at that play and see how easy of a call it is. Only thing I can think of is that he didn't think Plouffe made contact with his tag. As for the Nunez play, he can't be running that far inside the line. And with interference, you don't necessarily have to make contact or the catch need to be made...you just have to impede the play in order to be dinged for interference. Because he was so far inside the line too far from the base, it's actually a pretty easy call.
July 22, 201511 yr I like how the Angels TV broadcast (and the A's) don't use FoxTrax or Fox Tracker or whatever you want to call that strike calling computer thingy ... Not even on close calls that are replayed. I like that. I take it back. They just showed FoxTracks thing on Escobar's strike out. What do I know? They don't use it "often"?

July 22, 201511 yr So, in what inning is Molitor going to lose his mind and get booted? gardy would have already been tossed
July 22, 201511 yr So, in what inning is Molitor going to lose his mind and get booted?Should have been in the second. Or he just should have recused himself as soon as he saw who was behind the plate.
July 22, 201511 yr So, in what inning is Molitor going to lose his mind and get booted?challenge is gone so I'm going with 7th
