I agree with you that those guys were tougher. However, what they seldom did was go after players and managers the way some of these hotheads do today. They seemed more focused on making sure that their actions reflected positively upon the umpiring profession. <br /><br />Can you imagine Doug Harvey (or those of his generation) leaving his position to go escalate an argument? Even Pallone and Haller had the good sense to let the fight come to them. Not saying it never happened, but it was with far less frequency.

Happens when you have human decision-making and discretion involved! <br /><br />To be honest, I am surprised there have not been any major gaffes (not because of lack of talent, simply because of the transition of moving up to the big time) in the NFL games - at least more than usual. I watched the Giant and Jet games yesterday and I actually like how they let teams (especially DBs and LBs) play!

It just lets us know you don't know anything about umpiring and we gloss right over it." <br /><br />That's not true (or at least I hope it is hyperbole). I am sure there are people who umpire on this forum who are die-hard fans of a particular ballclub. It might affect decision-making or considerations if the team you root for is involved, but there are over 30 teams.

For the life of me I don't know why anyone argues warnings, you can still hit someone if you want, the penalty is just a little bigger if you do. Warnings may be explained, but not argued, making the ejection completely warranted. And no one cares about your post when you start it with "Now I'm a diehard (insert team name here) fan, but..."

Yes back in the day when Dave Pallone was bumping Pete Rose... and umpires were MUCH more agressive towards players and managers... Keep up the good work Paul an Emmy is coming your way!!<br /><br />Finally on Gary Darling.... I don't mind Emmel taking the discussion with Maddon for a long time but when you allow Maddon to follow Emmel Multiple times it looks bad.... For all we know Emmel doesn't want Gary coming down when it's one on one. We can not be 100% certain but based on evidence in the past Darling likes to let guys wear a lot of these arguements before stepping in.tmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801025280017627526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-7316981574673038912012-09-16T16:21:00.919-07:002012-09-16T16:21:00.919-07:00I did not see the game, but if Joyce was complaini...I did not see the game, but if Joyce was complaining about his at-bat in the top of the 8th, every pitch was correctly called.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216709036280564160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-36549066691787588152012-09-16T15:39:52.602-07:002012-09-16T15:39:52.602-07:00As far as the Joyce ejection: It looks like Joyce ...As far as the Joyce ejection: It looks like Joyce got away with a little gesturing, then began to walk away.
