29andPoplar Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If this is your honest opinion of me, thanks. I've umpired for about 10 years now and I know how things are in the game of baseball. I've thrown out several people but what I've learned is that its about the game and you can't let the tools behind the dugouts or even in the dugouts get to you. I guess the way people phrase their criticism towards umpires makes it sound like a criticism of the entire profession. The real heart of the matter is exactly what is bolded. It is what it is. That's true Ross and you are indeed a good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 QUOTE (29andPoplar @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 02:15 PM) It's amazing he got anything done in that at bat. The first two pitches were clearly outside, Mauer pulled them back over. Actually a bad pitch by Guerrier on the 0-2 to even let him get wood on it. He may not be getting a bunch of hits, but hes still on base, still knocking in runs and adds a dimension of speed to the top/middle of the order in front of some RBI guys that are heating up. I wouldnt move Carlos or his OBP for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
