As for the term Umpire apologist I have heard it used by many others on this site. I understand it as someone who is always on the Umpires side and blindly defends them no matter what. And I am not bashing the profession, I am as pro Umpire as anybody on this site, as a regular I am surprised you didn't know that. I have a lot of respect for all the Umpires in the MLB, my comment was referring to the fact that the UEFL originally had this call correct, which was just not the case.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077541258320019256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-40425174942490423172012-10-04T07:36:32.820-07:002012-10-04T07:36:32.820-07:00"I will also challenge this, there is no poss..."I will also challenge this, there is no possible way the biggest Umpire apologists can say with a straight face that this is a swing. It was not even close to being a swing. " <br /><br />What the hell is an "umpire apologist"? If you're going to bash a profession, at least use coherent terms. <br /><br />As for the call, it is incorrect. That shit happens. The only thing that bothers me about this is that the 1B umpire should not be so anxious to ring up the batter in this instance (which Jeff clearly was). <br /><br />Despite what the "anti-umpire apologists" think, this is close.
