Looking the footage again, the ump is looking Tex full in the face when he punches him out and his fist is pointing directly at Tex. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that was a big ol' FU for Tex arguing balls and strikes and disrespecting the home plate ump with foul language.

I am friends with a former ML umpire here in Florida and they've told me that umps will sometimes retaliate against a player who has shown up the umpire crew to make it abundantly clear that they never screw with them again.

Dismiss as in say if you overslide on home to first it's like overrunning?

Oversliding on first doesn't matter at all. You can overrun, overslide, overwhatever first base. As long as the runner doesn't make a move toward second he can do whatever he wants. Tex was clearly safe and it's not debatable. AWESOME! Screw Tex and screw the Yankees.

When Markakis got hit with the pitch and immediately started grabbing his hand in pain, C.C. Sabathia's first reaction was to scream at the umpire, because he wanted it to be called a strike.

I have NO sympathy whatsoever with for that piece of garbage franchise about a bad call to end the game.

Could not have said it better myself. Rep to you.

Poor yankee$ got screwed :newcry:

This makes most sense to me. Especially whem the umps have been faithfully following the Selig directive to give the MFY's the benifit of doubt on all calls. The ingrates how dare they argue calls in that case.

I just spoke with my friend about the call and they feel like this is what happened. Tex is clearly safe. My friend said, "I bet Tex will be meek as a lamb at the plate tomorrow, just you watch."

So how many bad calls have the Orioles had go against them which cost them crucial games against the Yankees. I can remember Jeffrey Maier reaching out and turning a Jeter flyout into a HR, which likely cost the Orioles a trip to the WS. And so many other calls have favored the Yankees over the year.

They are going crazy on the Yankees forum over this call.

For once a call goes the other way and I don't pity the Yankees one bit. They deserved to lose this game and they did. They have gotten far more calls over the years than have gone against them. Go O's!

I wasn't really paying attention but was Tex really griping with the umps that badly tonight? Anyhow, I don't really care. Way I look at it is the Yanks get calls that go their way a bit and we're entitled to one.

He was jawing like mad after getting rung up in the 7th. (or was it 6th?)

Yeah I know. The Maier call changed the complexion of the series. Still hate seeing that play. Honestly, I wouldn't complain if we played them in the ALCS again and the same thing that happened to Tarasco happened to one of their outfielders. Is that spiteful, sure, but I think the Yankees are in dire need of some hardships, really this is a team that has as much World Series appearances in my life time as the O's do winning season. No sympathy for them if something goes wrong.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      It’s probably fairly inevitable that Grayson will need TJ at some point in his career. Velo increases the risk. However, it’s very common for all pitchers, regardless of velo. The biggest thing Grayson has going for him is that he’s made it to age 24 without a shoulder or elbow injury (at least that I can recall), which already separates him from many others in the high velo club. The best predictor of future injuries is past injuries, and while he did have that lat issue that knocked him out for a fair bit his record is pretty clean in that respect.  Also, it’s more the conventional baseball wisdom than something I’m aware of being supported in stats, but Grayson has a prototypical pitcher’s frame and in theory that could help his durability. It doesn’t seem like he generates his velo from a max effort delivery.

      It was a fastball.   If you’re bailing out on a fastball from a LHP with a 3/4 delivery like that I think there’s a problem but if you think it’s perfectly fine you’re entitled to your opinion.

      It’s been a few years, but I seem to recall there was some talk about his playing 2B when Duquette was still here. Might have been some kind of instructional league chatter or something. It certainly cannot hurt.

      Yesterday's Lineup - Thank You Mike Elias and Sig Mejdal

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I'm not sure that I understand all of your post. In particular the mentioning of Elias and Adley in comparison to Belichick and Brady. That is an apples to strawberries comparison at best. Both are fruit and red and round, otherwise unalike. Brady's role as QB and BB's role as head coach and GM is far different and much more directly central to success than Elias GM and certainly Adley as a catcher. However, when speaking about Hal Steinbrenner being an impediment to Elias remaining as GM of the Orioles long term, I don't see it. NY is a totally different market than here. You are NEVER going to be given 4 years for a total tear down and all the future building moves for the sake of the present won't fly in NY. Yes, I am sure than other owners like Steinbrenner envy what the O's have amassed. It's why they changed the draft rules. However, some owners know that the path that Elias used to get the Orioles to where they are is not viable in their markets as they know how alienating it would be to their fanbase. This is to say, that if Elias wants to be here, Rubenstein has the pockets that are plenty deep enough to make that happen. It's probably going to be a similar contract to what the Mets are paying Stearns and the Dodgers are paying Friedman.

      If he can't locate the breaking stuff and throw the fastball with a good location he gets destroyed. I keep hearing how good his stuff is, but his pitch values are not good on anything but his offspeed pitch. His fastball had negative run value last year and it does again this year. Barrel and hard hit % are both up this year too. I guess he'll live or die by the changeup if it's working or not. Whiff rate and K% are good not great according to statcast.

      If the Sacramento A's need a second baseman I am fine with this.
