With no ump at third, he was ruled not to have swung.<br /><br /> Also, Ruiz's ground ball over third base in the 7th was clearly fair but was ruled foul, again because of the missing third-base umpire. Then Victorino, who would have scored on Ruiz's apparent double, stole third but was erroneously ruled out by the 2nd-base umpire. Victorino would have scored on Ruiz's subsequent single, so the Phils had his run taken away twice.<br /><br /> As a former high-school umpire and a Nats fan, I'm happy they beat the Phils, but it was a tough night at the office for the three men in blue and the calls went against both teams.<br /> May 05, 2012 12:07 AMnatsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-73300850285882702782012-05-05T01:46:04.619-04:002012-05-05T01:46:04.619-04:00D'Gourds, excellent work.

N...Unbelievable game. Can't talk, no voice. <br /><br />No problem with the Phillies fans, they were fine, sort of like the Red Sox fans at the exhibition game, lots there but spread out and not obnoxious. Nats fans easily outnumbered them, probably 70-30, maybe more. You heard them when Stras gave up the homers and "Roooooooo" for Ruiz, but that was about it. I don't think more than a dozen people left the game before it ended--the crowd was really into it. They were OK on the Metro home, where in the past they have been yelling and screaming and drunk.<br /><br />People in the section next to us kept trying to start the wave late in the game and it kept dying in our section. It was funny. Finally some guy shouted, "Stop the Wave, fools. No wave at a baseball game." <br /><br />I was there with two girlfriends and two 9 year-old girls, none of whom know baseball, so I couldn't concentrate on the game, but they had a great time. Will have to watch it tomorrow for all the questionable calls, etc. Werth left a lot of guys on base, but he didn't get any boos from Nats fans. The umps got booed pretty bad. <br /><br />Waitaminute--Burnett was in the game? I thought it was Stras, Gorzy, Stammen, Henry, Klip and Perry? I think the scoreboard lost track of the K's...<br /><br />I've seen McCatty settle down pitchers many, many times. I don't know what he says, but it's amazing. It was really a happy ending with Ramos winning it. <br /><br />Tomorrow is going to be a nightmare if you are going, the Caps game is at 12:30 and there is track work on every line. Good luck!NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-76702711963626103442012-05-05T01:08:40.400-04:002012-05-05T01:08:40.400-04:00I was at the game tonight and was pleased that the...I was at the game tonight and was pleased that the Phillie phans near my seat were not obnoxious. I also could hear the loud cheering for the Nats and practically none for the Phillies. On leaving the game a Phillie phan tapped me on the back, smiled, and said nice game, to which I replied "thank you".<br /><br />On another note regarding Harper's at bats. The foul balls he pulled down the right field line were smoked.

Now you are claiming a different stat which as we saw with Marquis last year is generally a "luck" stat. You made a mistake. Strasburg did not get the Victory. Say you were wrong and move on. Stras was no longer the pitcher of record once the Nats tied the game so if anything they saved him a "Loss".Gonathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622413303529086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-70135718844095935042012-05-05T00:16:10.097-04:002012-05-05T00:16:10.097-04:00John said...
