That the call was correct. Riggleman said he was frustrated because he says he hardly ever sees it called.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-52921645128451217912011-05-23T06:31:57.370-07:002011-05-23T06:31:57.370-07:00Let me guess: Riggleman argued, "There's ...Let me guess: Riggleman argued, "There's no way you could see that!" Always the last resort on those calls, that umpires can't see the feet and the pitch. Like the announcers who claim that umpires can't actually see checked swings.<br /><br />That's a great call.

These umpires may not receive the "AAA scoring bonus," as specified in Rule 4.a.<br /><br />Accordingly, Todd Tichenor (for Bill Hohn) is MLB for scoring purposes only. Because of his unofficially full-time status, treating Tichenor as AAA would pose an unfair advantage for scoring purposes.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-91763597366060120342011-05-22T19:20:49.133-07:002011-05-22T19:20:49.133-07:00Todd Tichenor is not considered a fill in umpire. ...Todd Tichenor is not considered a fill in umpire. He is not considered a AAA umpire in the UEFL, but he is technically not an official MLB full time umpire. There were three hires made by MLB this year: Dan Bellino, Scott Barry, and Brian Knight.
