00:00Well, the wind's beginning to blow out at Wrigley Field now.
00:02It's summertime.
00:06Weiss is the first pitch.
00:08Right, too.
00:09Now they call it safe.
00:11The second-place umpire calls it safe.
00:13Rick Rae, he was behind the play.
00:15It's the first-place umpire's play.
00:17Yes, it is.
00:18Rick Rae, there's absolutely no way he can see the play in the first place.
00:24As it appeared to me that Santana caught him on the fly.
00:30But Rick Rae called him safe as it hit the ground.
00:34Now Billy Martin wants the first-place umpire, Dale Scott, to get involved and let him make the call.
00:39The umpires will have a conference as Rich Garcia now joins it.
00:45That's a good sign.
00:46At least they got him talking because if you don't get him talking, it looks like he's going to be
00:50overruled.
00:52Rick Rae immediately calls safe when it's not his play.
00:56He doesn't have the angle on it.
00:58Dale Scott's got the angle.
01:00Well, Rich Garcia is a crew chief of this crew.
01:03And you can see Billy Martin is hot.
01:06Oh, boy.
01:07And he's got a reason to be hot.
01:09Because the umpire was behind the play.
01:11And he couldn't get the best angle to see whether Bobby Meechum caught the ball on the fly or not
01:18because it was the first-base umpire's call.
01:20Billy Martin has been thrown out of this game by Rick Rae.
01:24And Billy is not going to go quietly.
01:26Billy, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
01:30He should not have picked up the dirt and thrown it like that.
01:34Kicking is another thing.
01:36But still, this is a mistake by the umpire.
01:38Compounded by throwing Billy out.
01:42They blew the call.
01:44And then they compounded by throwing the manager out.
01:48But Billy's going to catch a little something right there for picking up the dirt and throwing it.
01:55But when is enough as Rich Garcia is trying to calm Billy Martin down now because Billy knows that the
02:03mistake was made as far as the call was concerned.
02:06They had a conference out there.
02:07They had a chance to reverse the call if they wanted to.
02:10Now, it only tells me one thing.
02:12That Dale Scott did not see the play.
02:13The guy that was supposed to have seen the play, unless I am wrong and we see it differently on
02:18the replay, Dale Scott did not see the play.
02:21And if he did, Sabote, if he didn't, they already go buy him a ticket, let him sit in the
02:24stands.
02:25That's what I'm saying.
02:28What else is he going to be looking at?
02:31Now, Billy Martin has been ejected for this ballgame.
02:37And Garcia, at this ballpark, there is a lot of foul territory, so there's a lot of room to talk
02:46and to gesture.
02:47And you can see Rick Reed.
02:51And that's Dale Scott.
02:53That's Dale Scott.
02:54That's the guy that threw Billy Martin out.
02:59Let's see if we can't see it now.
03:03Lighter right at the second baseman, Bobby Neaton.
03:09And it appears to me on the replay that Bobby spirited cleanly before he hit the ball.
03:14I hit the ground.
03:16That's really not the issue.
03:18The issue was he cut it off to the side as the ball knuckled on him a little bit.
03:22It's Dale Scott's play.
03:23It's Dale Scott's play.
03:23It's Dale Scott's play.
