Blown call in game 4 - They need replay

Post by Liquidhippo » Mon Oct 27, 2008 8:55 am

There are bad calls, horrible calls, and then every now and then there are calls so bad it's difficult to conceive how an umpire could possibly make such a call.



Longoria's tag of Rollins in the first inning falls into the latter category...I figured, ok, I guess a bug must have flown in his eye, forcing him to take his eyes off the action.



According to nbcsports, the umpire had this to say:



“I saw Longoria coming in and he was going for Rollins’ back on the tag. I just saw him swing and miss,” Welke said. “I never saw a tag.”



I find his statement impossible to believe. Perhaps Welke had money on the over?
