Umpire: Angels coaches 'unprofessional'

BOSTON -- The Angels were upset with the umpiring in their 9-8 loss to the Red Sox Wednesday night.

 

The umpires were upset with the Angels, too, or at least with the Angels coaches.

 

Rick Reed said Thursday that he has sent a report to major-league baseball about the way several memebers of the Angels coaching staff confronted him and his crew on their way off the field. Reed called the actions of the coaches, who he didn't identify, "unprofessional and unbecoming of a professional team."

 

The Red Sox won the game with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, with the tying run scoring on a controversial bases-loaded walk to Nick Green. The Angels believed they had Green struck out twice, once on a check-swing (first-base umpire Jeff Kellogg said no swing) and the second time on a 3-2 pitch that Reed ruled low.

Sounds like a bunch of Boston crap to me...

That guy is a complete moron, tool, retard, whatever you want to call it. He blew the game for us not once, but twice. Seriously how do you throw a 3-2 pitch RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE and have it not be called a strike? Never mind the check swing, that one is actually understand able if an ump blows that one. I just dont understand how you can throw a pitch right down the middle and its a ball. Where exactly is the strike zone then? The ump was scared to make the call and hear 40 thousand people screaming at him.

 

Anyways, just a regular season game. No biggie, we got the last game anyways. But still, that is one [expletive]ed up umpire.
