Re: These umpires are UNBELIEVABLE

The interference was easily missable. You can only see it on replay. The ump can't really see it. He can't hear it because the bat is hitting the ball. And the Angels didn't even really argue it or try to sell it.

Come on, mrb, you aren't being at all objective here. How could the ump miss it? Was he looking somewhere OTHER than where the ball was at, which would lead him to directly watch Finley's bat hit Pierzynski's glove? Was he distracted by some hot chick in center field or a butterfly or something? Come on, he missed it and was clearly wrong. Interesting how one ump can hear something that didn't happen, and another doesn't hear something that he clearly should have heard.
Moreover, I didn't know that it was Finley's obligation to "sell" the call--isn't the ump just supposed to get it right? If Finley runs down to 1st hard, he beats the double play easily. He argued the call (correctly) and got screwed doubly because he was out at first.
You are officially being a homer with all of these calls.
