Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
Especially not as the last out of one run game, with runners in scoring position, in a game September game between two playoff contenders.Originally Posted by SirFelixCat
The umpires union will say he made the right call, which technically, he did, but he probably will get reprimanded behind closed doors, and have to work harder to stay a major league ump.

The call to end the Minnesota game was very poor judgment on the ump's part to interpret that as helping by the coach.
"Rounding 3rd and heading for home, good night everybody"
That's my take as well.
Westbrook v. Gallardo at 2:10 from Milwaukee today. Brewers lost 1-0 and 5-4 in close games in Philly on Friday and Saturday before winning 6-2 yesterday and are returning to Miller Park following a road trip.
Florida leads Philadelphia 2-0 in the top of the third
Pittsburgh got a run in the bottom of the first and lead Atlanta 1-0 in the 2nd

I was just telling my 8.9 month pregnant wife how I am torn in what I want to see in the playoffs, God willing. I'd hate to see them matchup vs Philly in round 1, but it would make it much easier for me to get to Philly for Game 3 than Cincy for Game 1/2.
Cardinals up 1-0 in the first on Pujols' 97th RBI.
Cards lead Brewers 1-0, middle of the third. Brewers got out of a jam in the top of the third.
Florida is holding on to a 2-0 lead in the top of the 7th against Philadelphia. They do have two runners on with one out, threatening to add on.
Meanwhile, Atlanta and Pittsburgh are tied 1-1 in the 5th.

Rickie Weeks ties the game in Milwaukee on a homer.

Weeks HR. Milwaukeee ties it,
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
I thought the rule was that if you made contact with the base coach you are automatically out.. it doesn't matter if the umpire deems it as helping or not. Kind of one of those a rule is a rule things like when Mattingly accidentally made two trips to the mound in one go earlier this year and had to take his closer out
Weeks just homered against Westbrook, Cards/Brewers are 1-1 bottom of 3
Here is the rule as it reads...
From the Major League Rule Book, 7.09 (h)
(h) In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching
or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base
