The St. Louis Cardinals needed no assist in dominating on Sunday afternoon behind ace right-hander Adam Wainwright. He struck out 11* over seven innings in a 6-1 victory towards the Chicago Cubs that helped the Playing cards take of three games at Wrigley Area.
The *asterisk on Wainwright’s eleven strikeouts has been added because Waino received some assist (Didn’t we already say it wasn’t wanted?) from umpire Phil Cuzzi on a examine-swing call towards Donnie Murphy within the seventh inning. Cubs manager Dale Sveum, who would not even take pleasure in a video replay or the most effective view on the earth from his bunker, argued the call and was ejected. Later, he stated:
For his half, Murphy mentioned:
“Flinch” undoubtedly can be the best way to explain what Murphy did. However, there’s nothing that we are able to do about Cuzzi’s call, and there in all probability will probably be nothing we can do about it in the future.

It’s the type of name that even expanded video replay evaluate in all probability will not help. It is more or less of a judgment call on the home-plate umpire’s part. And until the day those umpires are Terminator-like robots with good laser heat vision, these calls will probably be left to the judgment of fallible human brains.
The umpire has to ask himself: Did the batter “go around”? Did his bat cross the plain of the entrance of residence plate? If the umpire’s unsure, he ought to enchantment to the primary-base umpire (in the case of a right-handed batter) and ask for help.

Cuzzi, based on insight no one can outline, indicated Murphy swung the bat and called him out. And he wasted little time sending Sveum on his method. No one likes to listen to once they’re unsuitable.

And Cuzzi was egregiously improper. It’s not the primary time. It won’t be the final.
The play in all probability didn’t affect the result of the game; Murphy might have struck out on the subsequent pitch. But that does not mean MLB simply has to simply accept it.
Dale Sveum says check-swing call by umpire Phil Cuzzi ‘Easily the worst I’ve ever seen’
