it bothers me that WCGB on the standings is based on the 2nd WC team for the current WC teams instead of the team that is first out

American umpire Michael DiMuro, briefly umpired in the Japanese Central League in an officially endorsed experiment designed to introduce American umpiring standards to Nippon Professional Baseball. The experiment violently failed but revealed how culturally dissimilar were US and Japanese baseball. http://articles.latimes.com/1997-06-10/sports/sp-1975_1_di-muro In 1997 in Gifu, a city west of Tokyo. Umpire Di Muro ejected slugger Yasuaki Taiho of the Chunichi Dragons who argued both strikes called against him. After the second argued call when Taiho refused to get back into the box quote:coaches at first and third bases, as well as the manager and a coach from the dugout, ran to home plate. Di Muro then ejected Taiho from the game. Earlier in the season, Swallows manager Katsuya Nomura told anyone who would listen: "This American umpire is going to completely mess up Japanese baseball." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/mia/sports041097.htm?noredirect=on After bailing from both the country and the cultural firewords his presence ignited, Di Muro was later the home plate ump for Halladay's perfecto. How is this not a movie?

I’d love to see a Japanese ump come over here and see how long it takes for the players to walk all over him.

The Braves are still paying Bruce Sutter $1+ million a year until 2021. He retired after 1988.

I think Manny is still getting $2 million a year on that 2000 offseason contract from the Red Sox too....

https://twitter.com/flippingbats/st...23post485691586 yes, i know this was posted in the last thread, but this really should be posted on every page of every forum that exists. make this happen forever. mlb, your problem isn't length of game, or even tempo of game, it's relatability. let your players be themselves. this isn't hard.

Ms sweep the Royals on the backs of Paxton and Diaz. They've won 7 in a row and are a half game behind the Astros. July is going to fun.

What an insane weekend of baseball Twins @ Cubs, roughly a billion runs scored. Definetly gonna be keeping an eye on this absolute unit, Willians Astudillo who apparently never strikes out. Might even have a chance to see him in person this week as I'll be in the Minneapolis area.

As soon as players and managers catch the drift that they won’t get ejected they’ll argue any and everything because they’re gigantic children. The game would grind to a halt. Unless people took something else from the “American ump enforces rules differently from the foreign league he’s in and it has predictable comedic results” story than I did, I dunno.
