Anybody else just a tad bit please it was Peavy who got pummeled?

I wish they had a "Third Team" Special for this Series.

Actually I would have really liked to see the behind the scenes for this crew, they seem interesting and there's four first-timers.

Do we know that they didn't make one?

Whoo!

Excellent point!

After the original "third team" broadcast, I emailed the MLB network to thank them for such a good program and to encourage them to produce more umpire related content....surely between tomorrow (Oct 30, 2014) until early February 2015, there should be ample off season broadcast time and umpire interest for such a program........

 

I mean how many times can you show "Prime 9" and "Hot Stove" ?????????

They should do a show that follows students in umpire school.  I am sure they could find enough type A personalities in that group to make it entertaining.

only one call WORTH reviewing and that was last night (I believe there was a review in game 2?, can't remember).  Anyhow.... that play at first last night is a safe all day at real speed, ...hell, it took them almost 3 minutes to get it super slow mo!

 

Great series by the Third Team

It was a very well called series. Glad to see that and that replay was only needed once.

Jeff, I'm actually surprised he called him safe in real time. Knowing that sliding into first is slower than running and it being that close my first thought is to bang em out.

It was so close that MLB statcast had Hosmer out by 0.02 seconds.

Anyone who slides into first should be called out for making our job more difficult.
