Now, Black just got tossed after an ump, you guessed it, blew a call at 1B. He was safe. He very confidently called him out. That's two blown calls at the first base bag. But, hey, I'm used to ML umps blowing calls at 1B all the time.

I mean, and I'm serious here: what has happened to 'Tie Goes to the Runner'? I swear it doesn't exist in Minor League baseball. The confident manner in which the vast majority of ML infield umps are looking to call the bang-bang play 'Out' is wild to me. I'd very easily guesstimate they go 95/5 calling that type of play Out which is, well, it's perplexing to me.

Also, how can you not be romantic about Rick Sweet the manager? He is such a legend. When he is trucking onto the field like that you absolutely know a lil fire is going to he spittin'.
