Help us sort out all this refereed madness former NBA referee Tim dot Aggies got Leo website via blogs for called Danny B dot info. He joins us on the AT&T outlined by the what's possible the nation's fastest mobile broadband network AT&T rethink possible long time no talk to -- you how aria. Good morning art art or -- no problem hey -- question for you when the league rescissions. Files and says that really wasn't a flagrant is a slap in the face a public slap in the face. To the official who made the wrong call in the first place. It is it's it's very embarrassing for them because they're on national TV. You know making a judgment call on and indicate to the like without mentioning illegal I mean it's a situation where five point play because they get a -- -- probably get shot -- the get the ball and then might it -- -- -- three. You know point play right here -- the inbound so it's it's extremely embarrassing for the official -- only. Did you call eight technical foul because of what somebody said to somebody. You can. And that's situation. It happened the other night with Paul Pierce that was the first time I've ever seen that happen. Because there's an official you have these very well aware that at the height. Profile player out skiing and Paul -- it won the start on the team and you'll already at a technical Al. That's the first time you've seen. That's the first time I've seen that done and in that situation quite opt in where. Start reject -- -- I think it's something to another by directory as another technical are usually. You know situation represent something for the refereed. You know boom back he's gone but. It was just very usual that it was such a court rejection and I've never seen that before elect would be the -- can -- up. The burden -- Tim. You mean the the the sensibility. That you would have to have offended. Two to put yourself in that position like official. -- did say Paul -- your gone. Mean didn't have to be a comment about Dwyane Wade's mother or could it be racial or or what what's the burden of proof. I think it it you know. The bottom liners are two African American players buy it and in my mind it would have to be a white and black I would have to be something racial. The Ethiopian situation -- you with -- I'm happy being like that but. We all know without their background that are equipment in that situation. I my theory was that he just choked -- Malloy it was very intense pressure was on. The after the fact they said oh yeah he he was taunting him because don't they verbally -- to one another like on every play them. Every place there there's they're going after each other and in the bottom line is is that Paul Pierce street actor because he got. I'll vote in the summer and if they border of whistle flagrant foul immediately like they'd -- gone the other with Jermaine O'Neal. That would diffuse that situation immediately because all pierce were known that there -- called -- who has gone to the allied for cheese shop there and that the ball. -- know that lead who's gonna continue to dwindle opener but without objection adjust to the wind out of the -- from Boston. A for the record you grew up with the went to high school within Malloy. I grew up with Ed -- he's one of those Philadelphia refereed. Got talent and Crawford myself wonder look at the all close knit group. No one time men and and I knew it -- suggestion that bicycle. Did did he does he enjoy the action as much as you do attempt. I know I. The -- and asked the other -- other I expected but he wasn't 100. And I'll tell us how the officials react tonight because. Clearly as as John -- point and you agreed that -- it was an insult -- a slap in the face to them for the -- -- and they screwed up those guys on Sunday they made mistakes. -- officials tonight. Have that in the back of their mind when -- got blown the whistle. And no doubt about -- -- and the officials don't wanna throughout European barracks again tonight and and looked like the home crowd out of the home team. That's what they call night in and night out -- going to be back down there we showed these these are going to be told that there were wrong pattern to what a look we're going into tonight's repeat don't make those same mistakes like. Was it fortunate for Paul period that he didn't get tossed out for the wimpy head but that was a possible offense was -- not -- They bought it -- he certainly could have been rejected for that it was like he says I don't know Pete was back. No -- on the cheek route for what he was one but there was situation where -- actually by the rule he could have been rejected for that. Another situation where if they called flagrant foul immediately elect their approach to you know maybe that. Not to escalate the point where dot. -- -- -- -- -- DER is the treat the playoff differently you mentioned -- of star out in the playoffs. That's a couple of different standard that's a different standard for star supposed -- regular role player. And a standard for the playoffs is opposed the regular season is that generally accepted among officials that there's two different seasons. Absolutely and you have to be -- very content in the watcher calling in in in these playoff games. And you know Paul Pierce injection is a prime example. A guy -- -- refereeing but really. Doesn't have all that much experience in the Lee. Doing something that not only he regrets the Leach certainly there are at this point. It to not a dog we don't know until 9 o'clock -- officials are going to be for tonight's game but I wonder if you could since you have an intimate knowledge of how these guys think -- -- -- -- -- certain responds to certain things give us a couple of good names. But the Boston Celtics like deceit blow the whistle that I a couple of bad names because we don't know -- 9 o'clock who is officiating. -- I think we talked about couple good names you want somebody like a com. No Scott Foster or ST chat the -- that the whole crowd is really done a fact. Know what goes on in their march and -- blow the whistle. And you know you talk about the negative names you don't want -- and certainly you don't wanna see some electric bill and the year picked a better album floor tonight because they're guys -- at some history at all nor perhaps some history. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Whichever it was in LA last -- and he won't be in you'll be in Philadelphia tonight who can scratch that off the list I suspect.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.

More from this showBy and large, the focus of development in the minor leagues is on players. Still, there is a developmental path for coaches and managers in the farm system, as is evident from the fact that the previous two managers of the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket -- Torey Lovullo (2010) and Arnie Beyeler (2011-12) are now both on the Red Sox' big league coaching staff. They share their insights about the differences between player and coaching expectations in Triple-A vs. the majors, while discussing professional development from the perspective of former minor league managers who aspire to similar positions in the big leagues.
