Is this guy for real?
Just one you think that the MLB postseason umpiring couldnt get any worse, it did. Last night on an odvious call, umpire Tim McClelland make a huge mistake, that to be honest anyone could make. There were two Yankee base runners confused standing around 3rd base non of them touching the base, so the Angels catcher tags both of them while they are off of the base. Their out right, Wrong. So maybe this didnt really matter in the game, sure they Yankees won 10-1 but really?
Because of these horrible calls i believe that baseball should have instant replay.”"Its going to hurt the integrity of the game.” How? Since when is making a correct call hurting the game. Every other sport has it, and they do very well with their instant replay. Many argue that replay will slow down the game of baseball, not to be rude, but isnt it already slow. If im in the staduim i would rather stay an extra 15 minutes, than leave knowing my team got screwed. Instant replay really doesnt take that long the NFL umpires can make a call in about 4 minutes.
Doesnt it seem that the Yankees or any big name team get these calls? Im not calling out the umpires, im just saying there have been some questionable calls in the past week. The baseball game last night, which had possible the worst call ever, and two college games in a few weeks. Two weeks ago during the Georgia-LSU game, the referees made two horrible celebration calls. In both situations neither of the players did anything wrong, they didnt show boat, they simple got congratulated by teamates. Also in Saturdays, Florida-Arkansas game the referees called a unsportsmanship call on an Arkansas player that beat his chest and jumped up and down after a big play. Yet has anyone seen Tim Tebow after he gets a first down, he celebrates more than anyone. I understand they are just pumped up, but if your going to throw a flag on one player, throw it on both of them, i dont care if its the GOD(Tim Tebow) from the glorious Florida Gators or not. I feel like the umpires favor these teams with alot of media coverage and big name players, this is hurting the integrity of the game. In fact without some really bad calls from the umpires saturday i thing that Arkansas could have upset Florida. This bad umpiriring needs to stop, let them play and if your going to call it, call it both ways, as for baseball get instant replay.
