He went on to talk about something to the effect of an out being made on a play behind a runner negating a run also. No mention of timing.

Thank you for setting us back yet again...

They need to let former umpires be the announcers, at least we would get the wording right and not make stupid comments like the guys in the video.

[mstaylor]

If they don't want on air umpires how about having one in the truck and every time they say something stupid, the truck umpire gets to zap them.

The next announcer that knows the rules will be the second.  Vin Scully may be the only one.

Comments like this from announcers make me want to do this...

Len Kasper for the Cubs is generally pretty good as well

Did U1 go out on this play? It so why isn't this U2s call

Joe Simpson (Braves) does a pretty good job.  Also very good about admitting when a call that went against the Braves was right, or when they get the benefit of an incorrect call.

[Umpire in Chief]

On the play of this though. Was there a blown coverage???

 

Davidson goes out then has the call back at 1st too? I don't have my CCA handy, but I don't think the play is his after he goes out.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[noumpere]

I would agree with you in CCA.  You can see U2 start to come over but then he stops.  Maybe it's different in what this crew does, but I don't think anyone had a good look at the tag up at first.

[grayhawk]

Keep shooting.  Yeah, maybe we should let me say whatever he wants, just because it's from the dugout.

I heard the phrase "not knee high, but the hollow of the knee" used last night on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball with Shulman, Hershiser and Larkin in respect to a pitcher trying to locate the bottom of the strike zone. Every so often there's a gem...
