Columbus Clippers
Didn't see a Clippers thread anywhere, so here it is.
Did anyone attend the game yesterday (Memorial Day)? I'm not sure I've ever seen an umpire blow a call as badly as last night. One of the Clippers hit a drive to center which bounced off the warning track, over the fence, and off the scoreboard.
The second base umpire promptly waved all the runners around and signalled that it was a home run. 
All three outfielders, the manager, and half the infield instantly started sprinting over to him to protest. Thankfully, after much arguing from the Bisons, booing from the crowd, and an umpires' conference, it was overturned. Thankfully, no bats were thrown at him. |

I was there, and that was one of the worst calls I have EVER seen. That ump had to be severely embarrassed. It was a Clippers' home game, he called a home run for the Clippers that wasn't, and the crowd booed him loudly. The other umps saved him from loud jeering for the rest of the game.
But then again, there were a lot of Bisons fans in the crowd (me being one of them.)

Don't talk about XC like he's not a member of this board.

He would have been there but he was umping the 5-6 year old tee ball game in Westerville! |

I was there. I attended the first three games of the series, actually, and yes--it was a horrific call. There were little kids sitting around us saying [censored] like, "That wasn't a home run, was it, Daddy?" That craziness aside, it was a hell of a game to watch. 21 runs scored, 30 hits, five errors, dime-a-dog, post-game fireworks...I had a good time.
Plus, the good guys won.
