I got the mlb radio package this year and have been listening to games regularly, and have to say it's a pleasure to listen to guys like Jon Miller (SF) and Bob Ueker (Mil) instead of Milo.
That was a toolish thing of an umpire to do... He wouldn't be doing that to an established all-time great like Pedro, Schilling, or even Roy... but he knows that Wandy is young, doesn't speak much Englsih... basically "inferior" in the ump's eye. Then, he has the audacity to get mad at Garner for coming out there (the ump was fighting as soon as Garner approached him). Nevertheless... it settled Wandy down, I guess.
Not at all... he probably was upset, and mouthed something (probably in Spanish)... but he didn't call out the umpire, raise his fist, or try to do anything obvious to show the guy up. The ump just didn't like the way Wandy was "frustrated" (which about 80% of the pitchers in baseball do on close strike 3 calls).
man if thats all it takes for the ump to lose his cool, then i hope he doesnt have home plate when Tim Wakefield is starting cause last night he was doing the same thing all night..being upset at umpire calls.
Wandy was starring a little too long at the ump on some close calls. A young pitcher usually would hear something from the ump for doing that. But for the ump to do a trot to the mound like he did should not be tollerated and Garner rightfully let him know that.
ill take the under only because i think it could be 3..but i dont think it will go over.so ill say he strikes out one more time...so 2
