Playoff Umpire Thread

[Hollywood Beaker]

Can't seem to find anything yet. Odd, considering they usually have something announced by now. At any rate, if anyone has a link or info, feel free to post it here, and I will continue to look periodically throughout the day/tomorrow.

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Alright, here's what I found. Shortened it so it's easier to read. Still looking for the rotations but, at the very least, here are the umps for each series.

Oak vs KC: Davis (Crew Chief), Hoye, Iassogna, Miller, Tichenor and Bill Welke.

SF vs Pit: West (CC), Eddings, Emmel, Fletcher, Gorman and Wegner.

Oak/KC vs LAA: Ted Barrett (CC), Barksdale, Guccione, Nauert, Nelson and Reynolds.

Det vs Bal: Kellogg (CC), Barry, Bellino, Culbreth, Schrieber and Wolf.

SF/Pit vs Wsh: Winters (CC), Carapazza, Diaz, Hallion, Kinght and Wendelstedt.

StL vs LAD: Scott (CC), Cooper, Drake, Layne, Meals and Porter.

WC Replay Officials: Cuzzi and Timmons.

DS Replay Officials: Bucknor, Conroy, Hickox and O'Nora.

 

[tuck321]

Very glad to see this. Crew chiefs start at home plate correct? Thanks

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

To note: Bucknor won't be ON the field, yet I sense he'll still find a way to fuck things up. As well, thankfully, Angel Hernandez's name is nowhere to be found. :Happy3:

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Nevermind...Bucknor might still find his way onto the field:

MLB will assign seven-man umpire crews to the League Championship and World Series according to an AP source. The reason for this, according to the anonymous source, is to accommodate baseball's instant replay technology.

The seventh umpire will begin each series at New York's MLBAM Replay Review HQ, rotating onto the field for Games 3 to replace an on-field umpire, who will head to New York for the series' remainder. The seventh umpire's starting position upon joining the crew for Game 3 will be left field, setting up a potential plate job for Game 7 (the Crew Chief role, circa 1964-2013).

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Found the rotation for the LAD/StL series but I can't seem to find the rest. Anyhow...

Rotation order goes HP-RF-LF-3B-2B-1B

Home plate: Meals
First base: Drake
Second base: Scott
Third base: Cooper
Left field: Layne
Right field: Porter

 

[GWarner27]

Davis sucks for my KC under lean

 

[tuck321]

Davis sucks for my KC under lean

I think its Miller. You can see from Meals that the crew chief is not starting at home plate.

 

[tuck321]

Miller with Shields 15 innings 4.20 ERA Miller with Lester 2.35 ERA based on 38.1 innings Pretty hard to play KC here. Although in the regular season Miller does seem to favor the home team.

 

[KJ]

What makes you think it's Miller tuck?

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

GiL @GiLmo574 · 2h2 hours ago

“@jc_jet: @GiLmo574 bill Miller behind the plate, Davis is crew chief”Shit. You're right...

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

GiL @GiLmo574 · 2h2 hours ago

FWIW - I'm playing the UNDER now with Bill Miller back there...

 

[KJ]

Hate to see that, seems like the entire world will be on the under and I kinda liked the idea that runs would be scored. Can't take an over with Miller, ever.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Yep everyone is on the Under, for sure. Yet line holding steady at 6.5 (various juices). I think I'm going to roll w/ Oakland. I think dopes will bet KC once they get off work and drive this line down a bit. I'm all in on Lester here. It's a no brainer to me. The crowd will be loud, but he's too experienced.

Cokin is interested in the under but only if Lester has David Ross catching and not Norris. Lester ERA with Ross 2.02 and very hard to run on while Norris gives him an ERA of 2.35 but has a much better bat.

Umpire thread at Covers went into it and I learned crew chiefs start at first base.

David Ross plays for Boston

Sal Perez not Pena

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Umpire thread at Covers went into it and I learned crew chiefs start at first base.

I don't think this is true. Crew chief for the LAD/StL series is Dale Scott and he's slated to start at 2B.

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Tomorrow's rotation is as follows:

• HP — Brian Gorman
• 1B — Joe West (crew chief)
• 2B — Mark Wegner
• 3B — Paul Emmel
• LF — Doug Eddings
• RF — Andy Fletcher

Bill Miller confirmed via Baseball Tonight a minute ago fwiw

 

[tuck321]

Very surprised by the Oakland catcher. Why not Ross. Soto, maybe I am missing something but do not see him catching for Lester last 2 years. Just a watcher.

 

[smith1051]

Soto just came to the A's the last month of the season. Ross is on the Red Sox. A's have Jaso (out w/ concussion), Soto or Norris as the catchers.

 

[tuck321]

David Ross plays for Boston

I am willing to believe this but a little stunned that baseball-reference com is off by a mile on this game. Surely they would have listed him if Soto had ever caught Lester and the first round of /he playoffs is tough to start out. Is Soto a quality catcher

 

[tuck321]

Checked. No record of him with Lester lifetime.

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

They said that Ross isn't as good as Soto when attempting to throw out runners. Thus, they started Soto against KC's speed.

Oh, the irony. KC set a record with 7 stolen bases in the game INCLUDING a record 4 in one inning.

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

For the ALCS:

KC vs LAA: Ted Barrett (CC), Barksdale, Guccione, Nauert, Nelson and Reynolds.

Det vs Bal: Kellogg (CC), Barry, Bellino, Culbreth, Schrieber and Wolf.

No word yet on the exact rotation and/or who will be behind the plate for game 1.

 

[ddcdd]

The more important question is if Meals is behind home plate on friday.

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

The more important question is if Meals is behind home plate on friday.

Well according to a couple of sources, that seems to be the case.

 

[GWarner27]

feel like over guys see unders this time of year and vice versa, nowhere near like a game in July so tread lightly

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Paul Schrieber will be behind the plate for game 1 in Baltimore.

 

[hare1994]

:shake:

Both pitchers 3-1 with him behind the plate in their careers.

Yeah but Scherzer has been lights out with a 1.35 ERA, 5ER in 33.1IP. Tillman not quite as good. 4.30ERA, 11ER in 23IP.

 

[tuck321]

This is true and Max has an ERA edge on 6 compared to Chris on 5. Tough game but leaning Max first 5

 

[JROCK1966]

Paul Nauert listed as HP ump on mlb.com.

 

[JROCK1966]

Vargas absolutely horrible splits with Nauert. 0-1, 16.20 ERA, 12 ER in 6.2 IP.

Weaver 0-0, 1.29 ERA, 1 ER in 7 IP.

***Not much sample size though FWIW.

 

[tuck321]

Sample size is a problem. We are talking about 1 game. Ump does seem to like chalk home teams

 

[Hollywood Beaker]

Umps for Friday:

Bal: Barry
LAD: Meals
LAA: Guccione

Stalking the SF/Wsh plate ump.

 

[tuck321]

Meals is famous for first half over in day games. This might not be easy though

 

[BetCrimes1984]

The more important question is if Meals is behind home plate on friday.

2nd post in approaching 2 years onsite. Meals must haunt your dreams.

 

[tuck321]

Strasburg on 5 1.93 ERA
Verlander with Barry .67 ERA 4-0 based on 27 innings
We know that Baltimore is the better team with a much better pen and that Detroit at one point was a top day team and is now 3 games over 500 while Baltimore is 6 games under.
We know both starters in the Baltimore have mid 4 day ERA's although playing WS Verlander in his last game went 8 in a day game giving up 1 run. Baltimore is not the WS. Detroit could win today but we are not getting much to find out. Currently just feel like waiting for night games and betting Baltimore
Kershaw with Meals 2.36 ERA based on 34.1 innings
Wainwright 3.51 ERA with him based on 25.2. I have a lot of respect for Wainwright but this does not look good for the Cardinals
Washington in their last 8 games with the real starters has given up 8 runs
Peavy is playing great right now and SF is a very good day team. I can not rule out a SF win but I am not eager to bet on it. I guess depending on the ref I might though

Thanks for this. Peavy's playoff numbers are atrocious with an ERA close to 10 in 5 starts. I think SF can win the series, but big edge in game 1 for the home team.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Literally every bet I see is on LAD/STL UNDER tonight in some fashion. Looks too easy, which usually isn't good.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Strasburg's first p.s. start, don't know if I'd want to pre-game bet that.

Do think the O's have the freshness mojo over the well-traveled Tigers.
