EXCUSE ME???

First time I came here I saw 2 DP's too, then after I saw johnny's comment the videos were updated.

[johnnyg08]

Now these videos are different.

Now these videos are different.

Ahhhh ...... ok , sorry guys .....are they correct now? I see that they are....

[johnnyg08]

Yes, they're right.

[Umpire in Chief]

Rough day at the office. The first is a not as close but the second is a true banger.

Do you think the term "Make up call" came up from the Milwaukee Manager??? Rap seemed to get more irritated with him than the Giants?

[Welpe]

Warren, I think that's exactly what happened in the second video. I wonder if Ed knew he had blown either call when the managers came out?

[johnnyg08]

I need to remind myself to mute the announcers. Make up call. Unreal.

I mute it when watching from work. Did the announcers say that too?

First play.

Slow mo replay

Announcer:

"That was about as close as close as it gets."

without breathing...

Super Slow mo replay

Announcer:

"Yeah, he was safe, that's not even close."

That would be Bill Schroeder. He's usually a pretty big homer.

I've heard the National guy say it a bunch of time already....the umpires have one look at it at full speed...if it takes us 2 or 3 looks as super slow motion, then we have to go w/ the umpire's call at full speed. I give him major props b/c he is right on the money.

[Minnz]

I wonder if on the first one he was so concentrated on the foot staying on the bag that he lost himself and forgot to track the ball to glove?! Second one was a make up call for sure.

[UMP45]

Minnz, Are you calling Rap a cheater? :mad:

[johnnyg08]

Troll.

[Minnz]

Minnz, Are you calling Rap a cheater?

Cheater...no....human...yes haha

[UMP45]

No. I distinctly read what you said. "Make up call"= cheater! You sound more like a fan-boy then an umpire. If you are an umpire do some soul searching as to if you want to continue umpiring. If not do us all a favor and sell your gear! No! Better yet give it away! :angry:
