If anything, this shows baseball could significantly benefit from a replay system, even if it’s just for the playoffs. Honestly, how long would it take for another ump in a replay booth to overturn that call? Three seconds? The viewing audience at home knew it was an awful call right away on the first replay, and even on the live feed. I can’t imagine there would be any more time lost on the game because of stoppage of play; between Mike Scioscia coming out to discuss the call and Napoli staring McClelland down, there was time wasted, too. But that’s a debate for another day, and I really don’t see baseball instituting instant replay on anything other than home runs calls any time soon. But let the record show: I’m a proponent of getting the call right, human element supporters be damned.

While the calls were certainly horrible, the simple fact is both Posada and Cano are 2 of the stupidest and laziest players in baseball. Good hitters, stupid players.

you are on third base as Posada was, you don’t run home. Period. Unless it’s a delayed steal. And with the Yankees already up 5-0, Posada was not delay stealing home, he was making a baserunning blunder.

(he didn’t have a good angle on Cano; he expected them both to be on the bag which happens 99 out of 100 times on a play like this) McClelland called Cano safe. Bad call. Some are even calling it THE WORST CALL OF ALL TIME. (You can see video of it here.)

You are on target here. One of the reasons the ump screwed it up is that Cano and Posada did something that you never see. Usually on a play like that both runners stay on the base and they let the ump figure it out. First Posada gets back to the bag safely and then just steps off anyway. And Cano never tried to touch the bag until really late in the play. It was just such an odd thing to happen -- in his mind the ump probably assumed Cano would not be stupid enough to be off the bag. But Cano is not playing hard. He is not running out ground balls AT ALL. And Posada needs something to improve his concentration. He is hitting good, but all else has been really bad. It started when he failed to catch a couple of straight fastballs in the Minnesota series. And then that run scored when he didn't hustle after that passed ball. Remember that? And then this game he makes three mistakes. Tagging instead of going halfway. The play at third. And the worst one of all, running to the dugout with two outs and a guy on third. Watch him on a couple replays -- he blinks every time before catching the ball. That boy just ain't right.

The Angles lost the game last night, but is was MLB that was the biggest looser. Was everyone asleep last night? It seemed that the umpires could call whatever bad call they desired without consequence! If Tommy Lasorda or Casey Stingle were in the dougout we would still be watching the argument. It was as if the umpires had something over these managers. Last nights exhibition was more a circus that a Professional Baseball Game in any league.

Worst. Call. Ever.

This IS the worst call in baseball history. Even worse than that time Ty Cobb was called safe immediately after he murdered that guy. And while yes, Posada is a moron and should have never left 3rd, but the players decisions (good or bad) are what should effect the game, not the umps.
