Rockies pissed off the umps on Monday

Looks like the Rockies aren't gaining any friends behind the plate. I hope this somehow comes back to bite them in the ass.

Not making friends?

I wouldn’t want them to make friends with umps that call players derogatory names…

Several Rockies alleged after Monday’s dramatic, 14th-inning 6-4 victory that second-base umpire Bill Miller called catcher Yorvit Torrealba a derogatory name while the catcher was a baserunner late in the game. That only heightened tempers on a night when both teams complained about the ball-and-strike calls of home-plate umpire Angel Campos.

i guess baggs made a mistake when he said it was justin miller that insulted torrealba

I’m ready for machines to take over. At this point, I honestly think the umpires aren’t capable.

Yorvit can be a bit of a douche now and then.

I’m sure there are large numbers of players with douchey tendencies. Nonetheless, umpires absolutely cannot instigate or aggravate these kinds of situations. They have the power to throw guys out of games, which they use liberally. Further discipline is to be handed out by MLB. Aside from that, they should turn the other cheek, which is part of their job.

MLB needs to get a handle on their umps, starting with Hohn.
