I don't know what the rule is there, but just because you don't agree doesn't make him wrong. He damn well may be right even if the umps totally freaked us on that one.

Good job Burnett

If he sees something that he thought was an improper call he can overrule. It's not like it's NEVER happened before.

It was the wrong, wrong, wrong call.

Looking at the replay, it looked like he tagged his foot. I did not see empty space in between the glove and his leg/foot. Looked like he touched him.

The ump was wholly in the wrong. You can't overturn that call.

That was the most pissed I've ever been.

McLaren was awesome. He said to each ump out there, 'freak you, freak you, freak you.' LOL. It was great.

Lydel Mitchell, wasn't he a Lion also?

Yup. Mitchell went to Penn State. He had an ok career.

But the list of PSU busts in the NFL is pretty long ... Cappelletti, Ki-Jana Carter, Blair Thomas, D.J. Dozier etc.

The assumption has to be that the ump at home plate saw a significant amount of air between Konerko and Morse's glove in order to reverse that call. That would be reasonable to change it given the position. It's just hard to believe it was that obvious from that distance and the angle of the home plate ump.

That plus the swipe of the glove with the speed of the foot moving through the air, it was only a momentary contact at most.

Agreed. I have a new respect for McLaren for doing that. He's alright in my book

Werth's attitude? He looks and plays like he doesn't give a crap.

The Nats should protest and walk off the field.

and forfeit a game they are about to win?

I want to hear what McLaren will say after this.

Desmond is the best baserunner on the team and did a good job.

For the record:

Quote

9.02
Any umpire's decision which involves judgment, such as, but not limited to, whether a batted ball is fair or foul, whether a pitch is a strike or a ball, or whether a runner is safe or out, is final. No player, manager, coach or substitute shall object to any such judgment decisions.
Rule 9.02(a) Comment: Players leaving their position in the field or on base, or managers or coaches leaving the bench or coaches box, to argue on BALLS AND STRIKES will not be permitted. They should be warned if they start for the plate to protest the call. If they continue, they will be ejected from the game.

If there is reasonable doubt that any umpire's decision may be in conflict with the rules, the manager may appeal the decision and ask that a correct ruling be made. Such appeal shall be made only to the umpire who made the protested decision.
If a decision is appealed, the umpire making the decision may ask another umpire for information before making a final decision. No umpire shall criticize, seek to reverse or interfere with another umpire's decision unless asked to do so by the umpire making it.

It's right freaking there.

And for the record, I'm not watching so I can't call it. My only argument is that you can argue those calls. It's in the rules.
