Martin had been out of the conversation for a long time before Hurdle got tossed; he can't have been protecting someone who no longer needed protecting.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-54864447867636073142013-05-21T09:00:05.388-07:002013-05-21T09:00:05.388-07:00He got the call right, he handled the situation we...He got the call right, he handled the situation well - but did anyone else notice that his safe call was happening so fast?! That's dangerous timing.<br />PS - I respect the manager's actions, tight play, catcher was upset. Get tossed to protect your catcher and to pump up your team.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-34045480901900537932013-05-20T10:03:43.152-07:002013-05-20T10:03:43.152-07:00Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

I will say this, for as much crap as I give CB (I have him in the lowest tier of top performers, the lowest 10%, along with Angel Hernandez, Jerry Meals, and Phil Cuzzi) he definitely is not confrontational and always engages the coaches respectfully.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-38209736503583808722013-05-19T20:01:47.651-07:002013-05-19T20:01:47.651-07:00I'm glad to CB watching the entire play and no...I'm glad to CB watching the entire play and not just jumping to "out" just because the ball beat him to the bag.

I always though that he got a bum wrap for his very small strike zone and some of the mistakes he made at first base in the 2009 ALDS.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-28138225468646474432013-05-19T14:12:21.597-07:002013-05-19T14:12:21.597-07:00not sure if this is the right place to post this b...not sure if this is the right place to post this but I don't know where else to do it since there is no contact us link....
