Bill stood his ground, ... and I'd say Tim Salmon turned out to be a pretty good player. |
Doug was within procedure as far as the way he went about it, ... The indications [on strike three] that he gave on the play was the same one he gave all game long. |
If someone was really pressed to put something on the line, was this a catch or not, we'd all probably have said it's inconclusive at best. |
None of the replays that we saw are from the perspective of the man who was responsible for making the call at the blink of an eye. |
Their credentials bear it out, ... As a tandem, these guys are good. But they need time. |
There is no regulation or requirement that they say something. Some of them do, but he's not wrong if he doesn't use it. |
These guys live and die based on whether their calls are correct. They take it very hard when it appears they've been wrong. Like good players, they almost grieve over it. |
