Did anyone see that called strike in the reds game just now?

Sunde91 · 06-16-10, 08:01 PM

YES.

Worst call I have ever seen, possibly. The ball was LITERALLY shoe high called for strike 3 on a full count runners 1st and 3rd zero out. (on under here so good for me)

OverUnder · 06-16-10, 08:02 PM

Wow, on the Dodgers as well though

MLB.com gameday makes it look a lot closer than described, I'll have to look out for a replay on Baseball Tonight.

It was a terrible call.

Just a question, since im not THAT familiar with baseball.

Is it common to eject somebody that fast? They only said a few words, and they were out. That spontanous reaction was justified.

Yes because you can not argue balls and strikes.

See: Crawford and Maddon about a month ago.

Sunde91 · 06-16-10, 08:06 PM

It was a shoe high fast ball. Atrocious.

thanks. THAT call was anyway more than arguable

probably sealed the game for the dodgers.

Depends on the Ump, but players/coaches usually get tossed quickly if they really say some nasty things.

Some umps won't tolerate any complaining at all.

Ok does it happen that an ejection lead to suspensions in following games?

Pretty much never unless there's some physical contact involved.

Sunde91 · 06-16-10, 08:15 PM

Something like that is never a suspension for following games.

No.

Wow that call was awful....from bases loaded with 0 outs to 2 on and 1 out no excuses for that.

That ball nearly touched the dirt

NO ACTION here,

simply a Reds fan.

Ump is lucky I wasn't at the game, would have chucked a beer at him.
