LittleBlue 109 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 I think it might have come across better if you told us after the crew was announced. This just comes across as bragging about non-public information. In any case, congrats to your friend and hopefully he and the rest of the crew does an excellent job like we all know they will. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tpatience 243 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 if I had to guess, this will probably be the last WS for Davis. He has had a great career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dumbdumb 327 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Davis just completed his 34th (1984) full time season (fill in/call up--for 82, 83). He has worked a total of 35 Special Events (i.e. ASG, WC, DS, LCS, WS) in that period of time. Since Jim Honochick worked his 6th WS in 1972 only 3 other umpires have accomplished that feat. Ed Montague, Joe West and now Gerry Davis. Pretty neat career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richvee 1,976 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 No post season for West. Wonder if the Beltre comment had anything to do with it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VolUmp 229 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 2 hours ago, Richvee said: No post season for West. Wonder if the Beltre comment had anything to do with it? Why do the players get to vote and publicly state who they feel is the worst MLB umpire every year, but one off-the-cuff conversation between guys who really don't have an ax to grind with each other, and probably really ARE on good terms (as West stated) gets West suspended for 3 games? Ridiculous double standard. West would never have said it if it weren't absolutely true. It's also interesting that the players will have a huge percentage of them voting an umpire among the worst, and an equally huge percentage voting the same umpire among the best. That just cannot be. That's how good of umpires the players are. Very consistent ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dumbdumb 327 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 9 hours ago, Richvee said: No post season for West. Wonder if the Beltre comment had anything to do with it? Could have been. But they did suspend Joe over the Papelbon incident in late September 2014 and he still received a post season assignment. And of course the press would have been all over his comments again, just like they were all over DeMuth last year for his comments about drilling the runner in the back to get the RLI interference call going to first and taking all doubt away, and DeMuth did not work the playoffs. Or, are they just giving some guys a rest every year so they can get the next group of umpires ready or more ready for future post season assignments? However, although all umpires would probably love to be chosen for an assignment most years, IMHO at this point in the game for most senior umpires, it would seem like they would be extremely happy to see members of their crew receiving assignments regardless of whether or not they receive one every year or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demuth was hurt at the end of last season, that is why he did not get any postseason assignments. In 2014 so many umpires missed so much time that most every eligible umpire had to work a playoff game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
