Umpire Watch: Postseason Bunting
Filed under: Giants, Phillies, MLB Playoffs, MLB Umpires, National League Championship Series
Controversial calls have become as much a part of the Major League Baseball postseason as Derek Jeter and patriotic bunting. In Umpire Watch, we intend to document those calls, at least until commissioner Bud Selig puts us out of business. It looked early on like the men in blue might find their way into the spotlight once again in Game 5, what with the strange tiff that seemed to unfold between Pat Burrell and Roy Halladay after a first-inning strikeout when it turned out that both men were really upset with home plate umpire Jeff Nelson and not one another. As it turned out, though, the NLCS umpiring crew had a much better night Thursday than it managed the previous evening, with only one play in the game worthy of much discussion -- and not much need to go frame-by-frame on the DVR to find out what actually happened.
