Bob Davidson lets Ozzie Guillen be the umpire and interpret Mike
Matheny's double switch (in other words, Bob Davidson is awful
at his job):

Unbelievable...Mike DiMuro doesn't even ask to see the ball
after Dewayne Wise dives into the crowd and doesn't come all
that close to making a catch.

Perhaps not a bad call, but another umpire making himself the
center of attention:

Angel Hernandez call Alex Rios out on this play that would have
ended the game in the 10th.
Luckily for Angel the White Sox won the game in the next inning.

Jeff Nelson with a call so awful, it's hard to even get upset.
They really need replay. This is just embarrassing for everyone:

At least that one's understandable. The ump is usually watching
the bag and feet and they hear the ball impact the glove. He
can be "forgiven" for not realizing it was the wrong glove.
Maybe. If you're kind.

2nd base or home ump had to have seen what happened. Silliness
to get that wrong.

You're being way too generous. There was no need to make an
immediate call on the play. I've seen many times, and I'm sure
you have too, where the umpire tells the fielder "show me the
ball" before he makes the call of an out. Granted, that usually
happens at a bang-bang play at the plate or a fielder going into
the stands but there's no reason not to do it at 1st too when
there are two fielders that close together.

Nelson at least admitted when shown the replay that he had blown
it and said what I said, he was focused on the feet. What's
sad, Andy, is there probably were umps who saw what happened and
said nothing. They have it drilled into them not to correct a
peer. That's nuts. OTOH, it probably would be chaos to have
Angel Hernandez running across the diamond changing calls
because he saw something else.
Sorry, it was a blown call, but at least he isn't an Angel
Hernandez about it.
