Girardi getting tossed

This is how you get tossed.

Even though it benefited the Angels, his argument was valid.  It was clearly a ball.  But it was still fun to watch Girardi go nuts and get tossed.

Not according to Fox Trax. It caught the bottom of the strike zone. 

[CeramicDragon]

That was funny. It worked in our favor.

Yep. It was a strike. Iannetta just sucks at framing pitches.

@jorgeccastillo: Joe Girardi on Laz Diaz: “He gave me ‘The Mutombo’ and I don’t appreciate that. I’m not a little kid and I don’t need to be scolded.”

Yeah.  That was a horrible frame job.  I thought it was a ball initially because of how he caught it but after seeing trax it was clearly a strike. 

 

Also, haven't seen a manager go that nuts in a long time.  That was great.

to be fair that same pitch had been called a ball earlier in the  game, and was called a ball later in the game.

That's racist!

[wopphil]

I am sure it is my imagination, but it seems when Las Diaz is the ump, lots of calls go the Angels way.

[Glen]

The Yankees aren't used to close calls going against them.

[Angel Oracle]

Laz Diaz = the anti-Doug Eddings.

I guess you didn't watch the game on foxsports.  Their replay showed it clearly in the strike zone.  So you assessment was off.

Possibly one of the greatest quotes in a very long long time.

Jesus how long is that jiff?

Every time I see this thread title, I keep thinking I'm going to open it to find this.

 

 

 

[katrinab]

both Fox Sports and SI.com are making big deals about this, saying the umpire acted unprofessionally and made it an ump show and all about him

think its only because it was against the Yankees? I've seen umpires act a lot worse than last night

[markb]

My favorite part about all this is it shows how entitled the Yankees and their fans are about getting calls.  People are complaining that Diaz's strikezone started to greatly favor the Angels after Girardi was tossed, except....

 

Shawn Kelley, who also got tossed, actually got one bad call -- in his favor

 

 

Thornton just sucked

 

 

Claiborne's called balls weren't even remotely close

 

 

 

Frieri's half of the inning was also called accurately

 

 

 

lol at the Yankees and their fans

[Blarg]

According to the chart Kelly only threw 9 actual strikes out of 29 pitches.

[Skram]

You think Joe said "oops" when he say the Fox trax later? That was just wicked late break on a ball, crosses at the bottom of the knees and almost ends in the dirt before the catcher can get it!

[Glen]

Even beating the Yankees is annoying.

I don't remember a time where a manager apologized for going nuts on pitches not called to their liking.

[rageous]

I think this just confirms how bad Ianetta is at framing pitches.

He pretty much cost Joe Smith his only bad outing by stabbing at pitches instead of framing them.

[Blarg]

If he was so bad at framing pitches why is Girardi getting thrown out on a strike call on one of his hitters?
