Jim Leyland was one of my favorite managers even though I'm not a Tigers fan. His level of enthusiasm reminds me of Earl Weaver (and I'm not O's fan either).
I am a Tigs fan too...and yes just watching the game in real time let alone with replays on tv you can tell hes clearly out...Leyland was mad because the Ump with the best view called him safe, but the home plate umpire, with no view of the play, helped to overturn the original call.
And if you fucked up on the job, I assure you someone would be in your face telling you...….that you fucked up. This was shitty umpiring on the 1B umpires part...….and Leyland had a right to dress the lazy ass down.
@@gretzkysyotes BS, everyone wants the umpires to get the call correct.....unless the call goes against your team. There is nothing wrong with getting help from another umpire when you are unsure of your call. Other than missing the initial call, the umpires did nothing wrong.
I hear you, but I'm an umpire myself and these situations happen more than you think. The home plate ump is supposed to watch the play up the line to look for a swipe tag or pulled foot because the first base ump usually can't see it from his angle. Admittedly, it doesn't look good for an umpire to be in this spot. What normally happens is the ump will go immediately for help, or say something like "safe, if his foot was on," then go for help to confirm it and then reiterate the call.
The right call was out after the Toronto Blue Jays manager came to the field. The first base umpire did a bad choice for adding Jim Leyland to join in for arguing.
I followed a link from the latest Phoo Paa call from another Ump! All these late and bad calls in baseball make me wonder how much of a "Kick Back" the Officials are getting from Gamblers when the Odds get too high?
On the Sportsnet side, Pat Tabler knew the minute he walked away from Ed, Alfonzo was going to get an earful from Leyland. This is a textbook example of a manger getting his monies worth.
in this case, the first base ump indicated a pulled foot, which is why he called him safe. When he was questioned on it, he asked the UIC (home plate) for help on whether he held his foot on the bag. That's why he reversed his call to an out. Umpires can absolutely change their call in these cases.
Aaaaand because it’s a Tigers player they easily reverse the call. If it was the other way around no way in hell they reverse in fact they’ll throw out 3 Tigers players and 2 coach’s. FACTS! I’ve seen this movie too many times and no one is going to convince me otherwise.
@@amandad5208 The first base umpire had a brain fart, it happens. Ultimately they got the call right and that is what you would want, isn't it? Everybody wants the umpires to get the call right unless the right call goes against your team. Instant replay would have come up with the same result.
