6/2 Cheering, Venting, & a no-no

[Skin Blues]

Hmm, so it's a completely different story. Again. How shocking.
So the ump did nothing wrong, yet the media and some people like to hate umps for no good reason.

It's pretty much accepted that the ump was wrong. Telling a guy you have to earn the right to throw the ball back to the pitcher? Really? Doesn't matter if Martin is a douchebag, it's still petty and unprofessional.

Martin said the only thing that bothered him was he likes to keep his arm loose by thriwing the balls out when men are on base. Otherwise he was pretty laughable about the comical nature of the entire thing. Its pretty silly.

[Skin Blues]

Oh it's definitely silly, it should never have happened. And Martin acted like an idiot afterwards saying he should have shown the ump his Gold Glove patch. All around it's ridiculous. The difference is that it's not in a player's job description to be impartial.

explane. wrong in what way? how is that unprofessional?
theres no rule that the ump has to give the ball to the catcher.

I didn't say he broke a rule, I said he was petty and unprofessional. Could be a rule or not, I have no idea, but that's not the issue as far as I'm concerned.

I still dont see anything unprofessional, you dont say what is unprofessional and why, and the way I see it theres no issue here.

I seriously am going to drop Tommy hanson. the guy is freakin brutal every time i trot him out there.

Ok. Maybe not. Good thing i didn't gut-react here.

[Skin Blues]

Yeah I figured it was bad news when he changed his delivery for this season. I ended up with him on one team somehow and it's been frustrating. He's looking more and more like only a spot-starter.

If you wanna see unprofessional umpiring, watch the Yankees @ Tigers.
Villareal is pitching and with runner(s) on base, he never comes to a complete halt, so clearly trying to deceive the runner(s).
It's a quick pitch which is a balk. Yet no umpire calls it. And I rarely see that called.
And thats unprofessional.

Kudos to Phil Hughes. First carrier complete game, beating Verlander.
