Default Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In

John F. said over and over that everyone "accepts" the neighborhood play, but that's not what this was, it was clear he never had the ball to transfer. Even the replay showed the ump looking at the bag assuming he was going to make the catch so you have to forgive him for missing the call.

Also interesting what Joe Torre said, how the umps have a little signal if they see something they will start toward the ump in question to let him know they had a better or different view and then he will call them in, if no one moves the ump in question doesn't call for help, it's not that they just rarely call for help it's that most of the time the other umps have nothing definitive to add. I thought that was kind of enlightening.
