Yeah, they said that the umpires get a week's vacation during the season.

I never knew that. Why? They have the All-Star break and all winter off.

The problem is not that umps get time off. Nothing wrong with that.

I want alert rested umps, not tired dazed umps.

The problem is that they keep the bare-bones MIN ump-roster instead of having enough guys to handle it.

So they bring in subs. There should be no subs used, they should have enough guys to have a rotation where umps get time off.

MLB is a multi-billion dollar industry, and they can't afford an extra crew of umps?

That tells you how much they care about good umpiring: not much.

Which also shows up in all the ways it's apparent that they don't get adequate supervision either.

IMO, it's a damn crime...

Kind of liked what the Yankee announcers said after the ejection. Something to the effect of, "that's just a guy who basically doesn't understand baseball making a bad decision right there".

But now I feel kind of bad for him also if he is just a fill in from the minors. He was probably was a little nervous on a big stage like that and just reacted before thinking.

I have, my friend. Thirteen to be exact.

Should the players get a week off during the season also? The manager?

Well the players do get days off. And while I don't know how the umpire situations works, I doubt there are much more than 4 for every team in the league.

Last time I checked the players have homestands. The umpires are always on the road, unless they just happen to live in one of the 25 (Combining close cities like San Francisco-Oakland and Baltimore-Washington) MLB cities/regions.

No kidding. Good to see Trembley argue, but he really should have given it to the home plate ump, who clearly misread the situation

Why would Daniel hit ARod on purpose in a 6-1 game where he just gave up a leadoff double? Why eject him without a warning? Even Michael Kay was dumbfounded.

Isn't that his normal state?

Apparently the ump wasn't the only who thought Cabrera through at him. Here's what Giardi had to say...

"I don't know. You never know," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Daniel Cabrera is wild, but I don't like it. He was down in the zone all night tonight and you just don't like it. It's happened a few times with this guy, Daniel Cabrera. We know at times he has some control issues but it's just awful dangerous when you're up there."

"WAAAAAAAAAAHHH! Their pitcher throws really hard and inside. That shouldn't be allowed against my beloved Yankees!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Yeah really Girardi is just crying wolf. I seriously dislike this guy. I loved Torre. He stood for doing things the right way. He would never had a quote like this.

Girardi should know better, as he played the game, and was a catcher at that.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seemed painfully obvious to me that the pitch just got away.

Man I hate everything Yankees............:angryfire:

What are the odds that Girardi has Joba drill Jones, Markakis or Huff early? That way both benches get warned and Sarfate (who is already wild) gets even more pressure put on him.

Then have Wegner toss Jaba without a warning. I'd love it!

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      How many starts per week for Kjerstad and where?

      By dzorange · Posted

      People are really overanalyzing the promotion of a player that may be on the team for a week. Clearly sending Holliday down wasn't plan A, and neither is bringing up McKenna. If Kjerstad gets sent down when Hays comes back then we have a problem. My main takeaways from this are that Hays is coming back shortly and Kjerstad is going to get Holliday's opportunity in the lineup. Perhaps he runs with it.

      Well 708 isn’t exactly that good either.

      His real age will match his baseball age in June.   He could have a role next year assuming Hays doesn't come back.

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      High school players are also less likely to make the majors than college players. Picking Abrams or Witt would also increase the chances your 1:1 pick is a bust, or at least less than you hoped for. When I say Adley wasn't a "safe" pick, I meant that the Orioles didn't sacrifice much, if any, ceiling to raise the floor. I remember the vast majority of pundits saying that Adley was the most likely player in the draft to be an excellent baseball player. A few said they thought Witt or Abrams had a higher ceiling, but they also were less likely to reach it than Adley. And even they were like, "slightly higher ceiling, much lower floor, and C is more valuable than SS." Even if more all-star level players come out of high school, in that particular draft Adley was a special player who had a super high floor and a super high ceiling. The fact that high school players are more likely in general to be all-stars shouldn't blind one to the fact that there was an incredibly special college talent available at 1:1. Bottom line is the idea that the O's should have picked anyone other than Adley in that draft was a small minority opinion on draft day, and the fact that Witt and maybe Abrams ended up hitting their ceilings doesn't change the fact that Adley was the obvious choice with the information available at the time, and it's not like it didn't work out awesome for us. I would say Adley is definitely more likely to be a HOF than Abrams and probably Witt, too.

      Yeah, but Westburg has become such a staple to the lineup and begun to establish himself offensively I thought they might do the Gunnar thing and say 3B is yours.  No more back and forth.

      I'm rambling now, but the 1928 A's may have been one of the coolest teams ever to hang around. Not only did they have a bunch of these old IL Orioles, and an unbelievable stock of young talent. But Mack had brought in some old guys, I guess to provide leadership and mentoring and the like. So on this one team they had the younger HOFs: Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove. They had the Orioles in Boley, Bishop, Grove, Earnshaw. But on top of all that, they had 41-year-old Ty Cobb, 40-year-old Tris Speaker, 41-year-old Eddie Collins, 44-year-old Jack Quinn, and 35-year-old Bullet Joe Bush. Of course Cobb, Speaker, and Collins are inner-circle HOFers, among the best to ever play their position. Quinn was a grandfathered spitballer, probably worthy of a book or three, who won 96 games in his 40s and pitched his last MLB game at the age of 50. And Bush had a 17-year career where he won 196 games. The '28 A's won 98 games and only finished 2.5 games behind a Yanks team that was the freakin' '27 Yanks the year before. For '29 Mack say goodbye to Cobb, Speaker, made Collins a coach, plugged in the kids, and ran away with the league for three straight years. Until the Depression hit, Connie didn't have any other sources of income or wealth, and for the 2nd time had to sell off his stars to make payroll.
