It is a quite obvious interference. Batter swings and steps across the plate. Oh well, got 2.

[mstaylor]

Good call.

I know lots of people hate him, but AH is still one of my favorites.

^^^^^^^^^^^ quite pertinent ....

Why don't people like him?

Think about it ........

It's not because he kicks calls .... it's his attitude and the way he takes over confrontations on the field .....when was the last time you saw a video of AH kicking one ?? Hmmmmm ??? :shrug:

[grayhawk]

No brainer.

I think people associate him with Joe West. Those two were partners in crime for a while.

dd here

Tman--how good are you???

AH missed one of the first calls of the year. If you can find that play at first base, when they slowed it down, he missed it. That's so long ago, nobody remembers but I kind of giggled. Not sure anyone argued since it was so early in the year. I tried to drag the play into the screen, but it wouldn't let me.

If you got the MLB pact that let's you see more calls than I get to see, you might can find during the first 2 weeks or if you have access to their archives, before they started getting more selective with things they let us see.

Anyway, if AH puts off vibes that are that over the top and so confrontational, I seriously doubt he would be in the company of Gerry Davis and Jeff Kellogg for playoff assignments over the last 15 years with 15 assignments unless Gerry and Jeff are also confrontational and give off bad vibes.

That last statement is not directed at anyone here, just the fact that I read a lot of places, terminology like that, but apparently the league office does not concur.

I think he gets slammed more than he should. I will say I hate his strike mechanic. If he rotated his hand 90 degrees it would be fine. Announcers slam his zone but I don't see why.

[Umpire in Chief]

The call was good, I just think he could have sold it better.

I agree about the heat Angel Hernandez catches, I don't see why.
