Southern accents kinda gave some of those away what does it crumble on Alvarez estimate generating -- and carry them it's like okay obviously. Pretty close of the defense of daily idle Pittsburgh and -- I you saw all four angles about an mlb.com did you think it was that definitive I know He said from behind we're Jerry meals is looking. You know I was a clear cut -- -- there's a replay you cannot tell. If the accurately gets him or not Jerry meals taken a beaten today I'm not sure it's a fair you should take a -- come off the ball beat him by a country mile He tag of three feet in front of the -- play -- tag death Julio Lugo jumps up. Make it doesn't even -- Dub doesn't start celebrating like they missed that. This if there's -- and you know. He missed the tag now -- just lies in the home no she's out stands up no way and also you Parse a safe and logos now celebrating -- don't know she goes out.

He says it's so law which confidence albeit by a mile kind of crap stack of -- craps like tag tell about this tag them on the chest and make it obvious dummy. That's a bad Tagamet spot why do what it's like tag there. Macon daily how much easier what do they just go boom there you go instead trying to do the old show off like at the swipe tag in my back pocket that's a bad job by the -- and easy easy easy call for no part. Debbie let me see the replay and I'm not sure He made the tag the from his angle are easy on the case Ang goal that's her as she's got a better eyesight that we use an umpire guys -- good at what they do. -- Burgos -- it was a tough call but it's it's an easy one. It'd be called the most no argument whatsoever guys helped de Nadal broke beat him easy tag them of two feet in front of the -- base home plate. He's out easy call that's an easy call. He blew that thing nineteen -- and ending soon. You play nineteen African innings he's cutting into game blown on a bad call and all that everyone a ball park saw. And it would have been an idea of what the other way horrible but once she saw that replay. Didn't you at least have a question whether or not He made the tag on Lugo. From the fourth replay but I'm saying where's He standing. It's the way He concede that it's it's easy want. Easy one tech would have bloodied and says -- from the five -- in your right -- right there. Clint Hurdle after the game Pittsburg pirates manager what does He have to say. He said He never tagged him. I saw tiger was three feet in front of plays and that's sort of look like they're well American -- look inside three feet from playing for a million valid way. This is just when He gets in the game in game tonight deserve way better. I agree within the -- them -- that's an easy call meant. And take a look at from fourth -- boasted that He really He barely touched him before He is standing from. If he's standing from the side you could actually see if the glove hits -- but where's He standing from this no way He can make that call. No way. I think you're just tired played that's a good excuse to in the morning Reynolds -- late. -- in town chief low end he's trying to get home.
