Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
"Joe West.. he saw it clearly. He did some good umpiring. The runner was out for interference."
"As long as he is running normally, you're going to have collisions like that, but you cannot intentionally slap..." So the original call was that it wasn't intentional, but they overruled that judgement call and substituted another one.

No, the original call was that he was safe because Arroyo dropped the ball. (Eventhough ARod never touched 1st base) Then, Joe West interviened and corrected the call by giving ARod interference. GO SOX! -JT

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
when I first saw the play I was jumping up and down excited as [censored], then I saw the reply and knew instantly it would be overturned. It just further solidified my stance that A-Rod is the biggest douche bag in the majors.

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
Why do you think it was intentional? Seriously. I really thought he was just slapping the arm out of his way.
Was there something you saw about how he did it, or where he was looking, or something that makes you think he deliberately did it?

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
Oh yeah... that's why you're not more worked up about it. You have the whole Mariner loyalty issue to work though, heh.
I wish I'd just read Theory of Poker, skipped the rest of the playoffs, and waited until next year [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
Joe Tall's explanation must be what they're officially saying, yes, because the alternative is to be overruling a judgement call. Once they do that, then there's no reason to disallow arguing balls and strikes, and then you have chaos.

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
I'm a nervous wreck of a Yankee fan and it was obvious to me it was an illegal play the first time I saw it. He used his left hand to slap at the glove, not the arm, to tryto knock the ball out of the glove.

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
I don't think they can overrule a judgment call, can they?
No they can't. Thus, Joe West comes up, asks if he saw ARod, 1st base ump says, "No, Doug was in the way." Joe West then gives ARod the interference and he is out. Ball is dead, Jeter back to first. Peace, Andy. GO SOX! -Joe Tall
