whitesoxownyou Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I am afraid that since he made that call, and took so much heat for it, that in order to make up for it, he might make some bad calls against the White Sox. It is very possible.... I think it is best for both teams that he gets pulled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxMatt Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 MLB says he made the right call, so in their eyes, there is nothing to make up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxownyou Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I may be really paranoid about this, but it seems like a possibility. I just don't want anyone potentially screwing up the White Sox chances.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxownyou Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think he made the right call as well. I think the ball hit the ground. Everyone fails to remember the crappy calls against Crede and Konerko and the questionable one with Rowand that night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I would pull him not for that but because Angels fans will be ruthless towards him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Ain't happening. Sorry. Not even a possibility. Do you know the firestorm MLB would create if they did something as brash and foolish as that? Nah uh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSoxFan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 That would be a slippery slope, if you pulled every ump who made a questionable call. Leave him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Poor guy is scheduled to be in left field tomorrow night, checking the fair pole I'd get sick if I was him. Close to the fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 That wasn't even the worst call of the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 true, there was much worse calls, i hope the game is called fair tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 If he makes a call like that against the Sox, there will be about 40,000 William Ligues that have something to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 They just showed how he was calling other dropped 3rd strikes yesterday. Rowand swung and missed a ball in the dirt, Eddings had that deal were he sticks his arm out and watched the catcher tag Rowand and then came with the out or as he calls it now, strike call. Eddings might not have said anything but he definitely signaled AJ out. It was a huge break and thank God the Sox took advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 There are some very funny things being said on sports radio today in LA - this guy is getting skewered! As I've pointed out about 20 times today to Angels fans, the call put a runner on first base with two outs. It didn't bring home the winning run. It didn't put a man in scoring position. "GET. OVER. IT." has been my refrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've read what these umps have to go through to get to the Majors and I do not think Eddings will be intimidated in any way by the media outcry or the LA crowd. I respect the toughness they aquire working their way up. There are times when they are blind, times when they are just wrong, but I've never had a feeling they were cowed.

You are right and if he is supported by MLB that's all the counts. I am not owrried and we shouldn't be paranoid. The Umps are professionals. I heard Tim McCarver scream for the instant replay to be implemented. BS in my opinion. The umpires are just as much a part of the game as the players. It's a human thing performing and calling a game and not a computerized version of a real life sport. I like it the way it is. I think I might start this as a new post.

GoodAsGould Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Idonno lol after this I think they would be wiser not to have him be the ump behind the plate for the rest of the series just because of all the heat he has taken and everything.

SouthSidein05 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 They shouldn't pull that ump becuase he saw thought the ball hit the dirt, and really just froze for a second. He didn't sell the call well with the fist pump, but it doesn't matter. I for one belive Josh Paul should have put the tag on if he wanted to put AJ away right there. Escobar was throwing mostly splitfingers, and if his glove HAS to touch the ground to make the catch, you still tag the batter even if YOU knew it was a catch. Were just lucky Bengie Molina wasn't in, becuase he would tagged out AJ, he's too smart to jst throw the ball up to the mound and assume inning over.

Game 3, LF. Game 4, RF. Game 5, 3B. Game 6 (If Nec.) 2B. Game 7 (If Nec.) 1B. I have friends who know Eddings and they tell me he's a good guy, and a tough guy. If he though AJ was out, he would have called him out, pure and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
