Another Day, Another Umpire On A Power Trip
Today's petty tyrant is Laz Diaz, who worked home plate during last night's Yankees-Angels game in Anaheim. Diaz exchanged words with Yankee catcher Russell Martin over balls and strikes, which is a no-no on Martin's part. But according to Martin, Diaz responded in a unique and passive-aggressive wa...

Jim Leyland Was Righteously Pissed At Some Terrible Umpiring
In the second inning of yesterday's matinee in Boston, Mike Aviles struck out. Well, he should have struck out. He swung and missed and everything. But the home plate umpire ruled that catcher Gerald Laird had short-hopped the catch, and on his second try, Aviles stroked an RBI single. It would lead...
College Baseball Player Leaps Clear Over The Wall To Make Ridiculous Game-Saving Catch
According to the video uploader, this full-extension-over-the-outfield-wall catch came in the ninth inning with two outs, one man on and Lower Columbia hanging on to a two run lead—meaning, the home run would have tied the game. Lower Columbia's left fielder goes totally horizontal to snag the no-...

This Little League Ump's Strike-Three Call Seems Designed To Hurt Little Kids' Feelings
Yeah, right, no problem guy. All these parents came out to watch you, the umpire, not their own kids.
