[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Carlos Torres ejected Mariners Manager Scott Servais for arguing a check swing (strike three) call in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Cardinals-Mariners game. With one out and one on (R1), Mariners batter Shawn O'Malley attempted to check his swing on a 1-2 slider from Mariners...

What do you guys think about this? I honestly don't know what I'd call here, even with replay.

About what? The umpire ruled that he went, the announcers are morons without a clue, the manager was a fool to take the Seattle job, and the call is not reviewable.

Does that cover it?

1. Yes I know the M's are a wreck. They're getting painful to watch. 

2. Maven, if your the BU at first and Torres asks, "Did he go" what do you have?

1. He wouldn't ask: he rung up the batter himself.
2. If he hadn't rung him up, I would have.

The batter is out. Torres told Servais, "don't come out"....he came out...bye bye. The announcers whined about the 'hesitation' on making the call, which I didn't see.  BTW, I will never pay to see the Mariners play, nor watch them on TV. I'd rather watch the Everett Aquasox.

Stk004, I posted this about two months ago, explaining why Torres wouldn't (couldn't) ask for help after calling the strike:

Rule 8.02(c) Comment [emphasis added]:

The manager or the catcher may request the plate umpire to ask his partner for help on a half swing when the plate umpire calls Rule 8.02 92 the pitch a ball, but not when the pitch is called a strike.... Appeals on a half swing may be made only on the call of ball and when asked to appeal, the home plate umpire must refer to a base umpire for his judgment on the half swing. Should the base umpire call the pitch a strike, the strike call shall prevail.

Yeah I understand this concept, I was just asking if you guys thought he went or not, which he did.
