I think we covered that update pretty well.

Got to have the umps to play the game but it is an extreme shame when they get in the way of the game. Let the players decide the game, not your STUPID JUDGEMENT CALL!!!!!!!

I didn't make the call. Someone asked for an update and I gave him one....so did three other people....hence my post.

I think he was talking to the umps, not you.

I understand the venting. I just don't want any misunderstandings. I don't recall any baseball games ending on a balk. I'm sure some have, but I haven't seen it 'till now.

I know the call was unpopular, but did the umps get it right.

I'm not denying that. 

My point is the next time you see a season end on a balk call will now be the 2nd time it happens.  Horrible decision by the ump no matter how bad the balk was....and no I wouldnt be thrilled if it happened the other way around. Noones season should end that way.

Although I wasn't there today (I was Wednesday and yesterday) to see it, Evan Mohl of the Galveston Daily News reports on his blog that it was a pretty obvious balk.  Definitely a tough way to lose, but if it is an obvious balk it has to be called.  Congrats to PNG.  All hail the . . . .

Let's see, isn't Galveston like 3 blocks from you guys?  And doesn't the GDN circulate to FWood too?  Hmmmmm.  What else would he say???
You do the math.

And I'm not saying that it wasn't a good call, since I wasn't there.  I'm just saying that your reference has no obvious credibility.

That may explain how the media works in SETX, but if you knew the GCDN guys, you would know that they do have "obvious credibility."  And, for the record, I wasn't vouching for their credibility when I first posted (but I am now).  Here's an idea PNG Proud, try posting when you actually have something intelligent to say.

I wasn't there but I just spoke to someone who was there and the balk was actually called on the catcher.

From what I gathered, runners on 1st and 3rd, 2 outs, the runner on first started to slightly jog to 2nd to try and induce a throw to maybe score the runner from 3rd. PNG catcher stood up out of his stance thinking that the pitcher was going to try and throw the runner out. But the pitcher made the pitch instead and the catcher got back down in his stance and made the catch. That is a no-no. Had the catcher remained up in his stance no balk would have been called.

It's still a pretty crappy way to end a series.

    • On3 has the correct scores. Like I always say and @AggiesAreWe can vouch for this: don't trust MaxPreps.
