As an Angels fan, I really like Gubicza as an announcer, but he and the rules are not acquaintances.

I'm glad he called INT here. It's amazing how often it seems major league batters "accidentally" fall across home plate after a swing when there's a runner stealing.

I think Gubby's description of an umpiring calling a "sacrifice fly" on a fair fly ball to an infielder with runners on first and second base with less than two out supports that statement.

I actually think that was just a slip of the tongue and he meant "infield fly" not "sacrifice fly."  He's said far worse, like last week saying that if a batter's foot touched the plate while he hit the ball that he would be out.  I have searched for him on Twitter so I could tweet him when he makes these mistakes, but I don't think he has an active twitter account.

Has that call ever been made without a coach arguing. At any level. Geez.
