Nationals @ White Sox, Game 1

[PatsNats28]

McLaren should go off in spectacular fashion now.

[PANatsFan]

I love Hairston!

[Minty Fresh]

HE CALLED HIM OUT!! YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND!!!

All caps will not change the fact that umpires can get overruled and ask for help.

[aussienatsfan]

he got him, i'm sure he got him

[Sharp]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

[sportsfan882]

He called him out!!! You can't change the call!!!!!!! It was already called

[PC]

Is a call ever final?

[Tyler Durden]

Oh crap Bixler.

[sportsfan882]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

HE GOT TAGGED ON THE FOOT. AND HE WAS CALLED OUT

[tomterp]

We can't afford to lose Hairston to a suspension, we have no bench.  Bixler?   

[sportsfan882]

All caps will not change the fact that umpires can get overruled and ask for help.

He called him out. You can't change the call. He called him out!! it's a bang-bang human call. And he called him out

[PC]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

How can you call him safe?  The replay isn't even clear.

[shoeshineboy]

No freakin way the home plate ump could overrule that crap.

[sportsfan882]

WHICH UMP COULD POSSIBLY HAVE A BETTER ANGLE THAN THE 1B UMPIRE?!

[NoShoesNoShirtNoDice]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

He probably was, but changing the play sucks. McLaren should start throwing crap on the field.

[spidernat]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

Maybe so but that's not the way it's supposed to work. He never asked for assistance. His call was emphatic.

[Tyler Durden]

This is freaking bullcrap.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The freaking fix is in.

[tomterp]

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

How the F do you know?   It looked to me like he got tagged on the cleat by Morse.

[EdStroud]

Burnett will strikeout Dunn

[Sharp]

Maybe so but that's not the way it's supposed to work. He never asked for assistance. His call was emphatic.

Perhaps, but I'm not complaining as long as he made the right call if umpires are going to start actually overruling bad calls.

Let's not complain too much, he was safe.

I don't, but you'd expect the runner to have tripped if he was really tagged on the foot.

HE DIDN'T ASK FOR HELP!

[hammondsnats]

i love hairston too for that.  STFU bob, he's trying to stick up for his team.  morse got him, but that's not even the point.  how the freak can you come together and talk it over like that.  just freakin pathetic.

[sportsfan882]

That's not the homeplate umpire's call!!!!!! The first base umpire was right there!!!! He was just a a few feet from the play. The HP ump was not close

[cmdterps44]

Paulie may have been safe but theres nothing you can do about that. No replay would've overruled the call AND the first base ump never asked for help. He ruled it. Such horsecrap. SUCH HORSEcrap.
