2014-04-14 Cardinals (Lynn) at Brewers (Garza), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-0]

[jjkoestler]

I'd like to thank the Cards fans for showing me the proper way to cheer for a guy who got busted with PEDs. I can cheer and clap for Ryan Braun. The more you know...

[trwi7]

That pitch wasn't even close to the strike zone.

[yfinn6]

That was a strike?

[ELCABALLO45]

Bob Davidson everyone!

[SRB]

Seriously? That wasn't even close.

[DocLuna7]

I normally don't nitpick with umps, but that last called strike on Scooter was brutal.

[trwi7]

If I was at this game I would be trolling Bob Davidson so hard. He'd throw me out but it would be fun for the first 5ish innings.

[jjkoestler]

Ladies and gents. Mr. Bob Davidson.

[yfinn6]

Bob Davidson (from his wiki): He is consistently voted by players and managers as one of the worst umpires in Major League Baseball, placing fourth-worst in a Sports Illustrated poll in 2011.[2]

[Schlitz001]

Bob Davidson was also the umpire who ejected a fan in Milwaukee for heckling Yadier Monlina. LINK

[MVP2110]

Much Better looking Garza that inning, lets get the bats going Boys

[jjkoestler]

C.B. Bucknor vs Bob Davidson. Who is worse?

Claim to fame: On Aug. 23, 1989, Davidson ejected Youppi!, the Montreal Expos mascot, after repeated complaints from Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. It seems Youppi! had been dancing on top of the Dodgers dugout roof while dressed in a nightgown.

 

Also:

Umpire Bob Davidson has received a one-game suspension for his repeated violations of the Office of the Commissioner's standards for situation handling, Major League Baseball announced today.

 

Davidson's suspension is to be served tonight, when his crew will work the Minnesota Twins-Milwaukee Brewers game at Miller Park. A Minor League call-up umpire will fill Davidson's spot in tonight's game.

C.B. Bucknor vs Bob Davidson. Who is worse?

 

I think Bucknor is worse, but Bob Davidson is looking to throw people out of the game, so he gets the overall nod from me.

[yfinn6]

Is Garza in any real danger of losing another game 1-0? Yep, Davidson is ejecting someone tonight. And there it was... HAHAHA

 

I called it on page 1, boys. Called 'er.

[ELCABALLO45]

Haha Bob Davidson is such a joke. And I hate the Cardinals.

[jjkoestler]

I'd like to think that was a make up call, but Davidson is just that bad.

[BCZF]

no Matheney toss.. doh

[craigharmann]

Haha Bob Davidson is such a joke. And I hate the Cardinals.

 

No set strike zone and no set parameters to throw someone out. Geez. Both Carpenter and Matheny should have been run.

Nice. Glad that it was one of their bigger bats instead of one of our fans.

[PrinceFielderx1]

I got 2 to 1 odds that Matheny will be thrown out in todays game.

[Schlitz001]

I got 2 to 1 odds that Matheny will be thrown out in todays game.

 

That's not too bold of a prediction considering the Chorizo has 6:1 odds of getting tossed.

[ELCABALLO45]

Brewers have missed about 3 or 4 fat fastballs right down the pipe tonight.

[SRB]

I got 2 to 1 odds that Matheny will be thrown out in todays game.

Little Chorizo at 7:1

 

Hank the Dog at 8:1

[PrinceFielderx1]

Brewers should be hitting his fastball. Are they pulling everything?
