07/07: Crew Chief Talks About Today's Umpiring
Posted by: Patrick
After today's loss, the AP reports that Derek Jeter revealed what bothered him enough to argue, after he was caught stealing in the first inning. Beyond just being safe, he said that third base umpire Marty Foster told him that he didn't need to be tagged - the ball had beat him.
The chief of today's umpiring crew, John Hirschbeck, had a fair approach to the situation. "It would make his actions seem appropriate if that's what he was told," Hirschbeck said. He plans to talk with Foley about what happened. Check out the article for his full remarks.
