Umpire Talk Again

I'm not going to sit here and harp again on how bad the umpiring has been in the post-season this year, but the umpires were about as bad as I can ever remember during tonight's 10-1 Yankees win over the Angels in Game 4 of the ALCS.

How Tim McClelland didn't see that both of the two Yankee runners at third base were off the bag when they were both tagged is beyond me. Why he was watching the catch in the outfield instead of the runner getting ready to tag from third to score makes no sense to me either. And that pickoff at second base? The runner was out by a foot. How do you miss that?

None of these calls really affected the game, but you still have to get those calls right.
