Here is an excerpt from Eduardo Encina's Baltimore Sun article:
So here is Mark Reynolds unplugged, a full transcript of what Reynolds said after the game:
What was your reaction to the reversed call?
First of all, Manny made a heIl of a play. Tough throw and I stayed on the bag and that’s why I got so upset. I don’t understand how an umpire can miss a play at home plate that’s right in front of him and see that play from home plate at first base. It’s embarrassing that they would overturn a call that obviously has an impact on the game in the middle of the pennant race. Obviously by the way I acted, it’s very frustrating. I’ve never seen it in my life an umpire reverse a call after the right call is made. And it’s obviously on the replay I kept my foot on the bag. I was pretty mad.
Were you surprised when it was reversed?
Definitely. I’ve never in my life seen someone reverse a call. The guy in Colorado [Rockiesfirst baseman Todd Helton got an out call earlier this year despite being far off the bag] the guy was off the bag by three feet. And my foot was on the bag and they reversed it. And it’s a shame they don’t have accountability. They don’t have any, if they make a bad call, it’s like, ‘Ho-hum, next day is coming.’ If we have a bad couple of games we get benched or we get sent down. They have nobody breathing down their throats. They have nobody, they are just secure in their jobs. And they are probably over there right now laughing about it because they don’t worry about it. This game is way too important right now, where we are in the season, for these kind of calls to happen. And it’s very frustrating.
Did you think you’d get ejected after throwing your glove?
That’s terrible. [Second-base umpire] Vic [Carapazza] has no authority to throw me out right there. All I did was an equipment violation. It’s a fine. You are supposed to point at it and the league offices decide what to do there. He just threw me out right there. I didn’t do anything wrong. If I go up to him and say something to him, that I shouldn’t say, that’s fine. Throw me out there for that. But you can’t throw me out for throwing my glove. What’s the difference between a guy throwing his helmet after a bad call? It’s just part of it and everybody goes on their way. He had no right to throw me out there. There’s just so many words I can’t say on this camera right now that I want to say.
How tough was it having those calls go against you?
It’s almost like ‘Screw the Orioles’ by the umpires. I mean [Adam Jones] was obviously safe at first base the other day, cost us a run against Boston. There’s got to be some kind of replay for this. It’s to the point where all these calls that get missed and it costs people runs, costs people outs. It cost [starter Tommy Hunter] extra pitches. I can’t say how I really feel but it’s pretty obvious.

seems like they did cheat the orioles pretty bad, i remember last year the ump purposesly missed a safe at home call in extra innings for the pirates, it was infuriated because he was safe by a mile and the game was like 5 hours long and the very next inning the braves won. of course it was a pennant race game for a small market team.Comment -
Sort of like Gallaraga losing a no hitter over a bad call, we know what u mean believe meComment -
great article, nice post.. total fix.. the same ump apparently called a guy 'Out' that was "safe" at home in the first, i guess, he just kept tilting the scales until it fell over... after taking away the run in the first and giving the O's an out instead.. they were still ahead after 5.. that when he went back to work.. MLB needs replay so badly.. but then replay officials come out with crap like... "insufficient evidence".. but it's still better than nothing.*
i fell terribly for small market teams, they always get this.. it's such a racket.. you need nationally recognized stars, or you have NO chance, they just take it away from you, we see it in every sport. Superstars can't lose. They won't let them.
